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.

I am very happy with the care I received from Mr Shah.
He took the time to explain why my right hip was giving me so much pain showing me x-rays of the wear then how he could replace the hip, I found him very easy to talk to he answered all my questions and put me at ease.
In hospital for the operation Mr Shah bed side humour again puts you at ease, the operation went well Mr Shah checked on me the following two days giving exercise advise checking wound etc.
I know I was on pain killers but I could walk around hospital on second day far better than I had for over two years I was discharged on day three. Over the next twelve months I had three follow up appointments with Mr Shah he gave very good advice at all of them.
I don't think I could have had greater care at all.
Thank you.

Mr Shah was very professional & explained fully what to expect before & after surgery.
Also the follow up appointment also very thorough.
He took time to listen to any concerns I might have had .
The result of my surgery has been excellent & I am now pain free .

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)
