I couldn’t fault Mr Shah in any way he always listened to me and explained in detail the whole procedure from the first consultation to ringing my wife at the end of the operation reassuring her all went well and all the consultations post op.

My knee replacement was my first major operation. I had an idea of what it would entail, Mr Shah's detailed explanation - together with x-ray -was excellent from the pre op all the way to the importance of the after care physio. Nothing was hidden , including the fact I needed to lose weight, he was quite right.
I have been to see him regarding my other knee. Again the x-ray , but a different explanation- that operations are different, the new knee could feel different to the one I have had done, take longer to heal. All common sense really, but good to have it spelt out, I like to face things head on , no heads in sand and Mr Shah enabled that.

I am extremely happy with my experience with Mr Shah. From the initial consultation through to my post operative consultation he took the time to explain what he needed to do, what I should expect and how I should look after my new hip. The final result is as good as I could ever have wished for. The pain is gone and after only eight weeks I can walk comfortably on uneven as well as flat surfaces. The scar is very neat as Mr Shah takes the extra time to close up with dissolvable sutures rather than a 'ladder' of external clips or stitches.
Despite hips and knees being his speciality, and he must have done dozens, I felt, throughout the experience, that I was receiving his personal attention rather than being just another customer.
I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Shah for hip replacement and I will certainly be contacting him if or when I need the other one done.
Specialises in
- Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery
Profile
I have been working within orthopaedics since 1998.
I have 3 orthopaedic degrees from India, 3 more from the UK including the FRCS in trauma and orthopaedics and am on the GMC specialist register to practice as a consultant in trauma and orthopaedics.
My specialist interest is in hips and knees(hoping the name of the website was a giveaway)
I do believe it is necessary to restrict ones practice to one or two specialist areas and I think its difficult to deliver great outcomes unless the focus is narrow
I have been in the NorthWest since 2003 and have enjoyed learning from some superb surgeons in some well run hospitals
This includes working at Wrightington Hospital(which is one of the centres of excellence for orthopaedic work) as the John Charnley Fellow learning how to tackle complex hip and knee problems.
My focus is on delivering an ethical and sensible consult to start with. An ability to explain the pathology (in simple terms!) and then laying out the options available is vital to this.
Sometimes its about giving you time to make that call and in some cases its about having that additional information to get your head around the problem.
With hips and knees I deal with all pathologies related to and including sports injuries, having a painful or unstable joint due to early wear and tear to severe forms of arthritis. Your treatment may range from getting an understanding and then walking away, physiotherapy, injections to the joint or around it, key hole surgery, various forms of joint replacements (talk to me about options and materials).
On a personal front, I have a teenage son and a younger daughter(who still thinks i am great), love the following in no particular order: cricket(mainly watching occasionally doing), swimming(do this one), and an occasional dram of a good single malt(definitely do this one)
