Mr Ashwin Unnithan

Written by a patient at Ashford Hospital

In the short time I have been with Mr Unnithan he has made me feel at ease, and I was quitely confidant in the outcome of the Knee replacement surgery. Results post op seeem to be very positive and I am already reaping the benifits of the surgery in as much as I have many hours of total pain free time, something that I was not able to have prior to operation.

Ashwin was totally upfront about the whole procedure and recovery process. I had total confidence in Ashwin performing my total knee replacement as he made me feel totally at ease with the whole process. I can't speak more highly of Mr Ashwin Unnithan he has been fantastic. My sincere thanks to Mr Ashwin Unnithan for his knowledge and expertise

Through force of circumstance Mr Unnithan was the 3rd consultant I saw. Initially regarding a hip replacement but as a consequence of a discussion with him I proceeded to have a total knee replacement some 7 weeks ago which is promising to be a great success. What I appreciated about Mr Unnithan was his willingness to listen and a candid approach which has been refreshing on the occasions I have seen him

My new hip is wonderful, being pain free after many years is exceptional. My treatment at Ashford Hospital was first class and I was kept informed about what was happening and what to expect continuously. Being woken through the night to have my blood presssure taken was a bit of a nuisance but a necessary evil I suppose. The stockings were a nightmare and once home it was difficult changing them and wearing them 24/7 proved painful especially at night when it seemed they were cutting off circulation to my toes - I must admit I didn't keep using them as long as advised because it was all together too difficult. I was told by many to ensure I did my exercises and I did - I can't stress enough how important it is to do the exercises to ensure a full and reasonably speedy recovery. The only other thing I would mention is that I was advised how to sleep on my side or back but nobody considered advice on sleeping on my front - which is what I do - so I managed on my own making sure to lie flat with no pillows - it worked.

I was due to have a total left knee replacement in Nov 2018 in Ashford Hospital. I checked in to the ward, but in the late afternoon Mr Unnitahn and his team came to see me, in their surgical scrubs, to say it would not be possible to operate on me that day due to circumstances beyond their control. I greatly appreciated that he came personally to explain. I eventually had the operation in early Jan 2019. I am now 9 weeks on and I am very pleased with the outcome, as it is already performing better than my right knee which was replaced some 9 year ago. Mt Unnithan emphasised the importance of exercises and physioptherapy and I know I am benefiting from that. In my dealings with Mr Unnithan he has never hidden the potential difficulties. He has taken time to explain matters and has never rushed me. I have every confudence in him and his approach.
