Mr Ashwin Unnithan

Written by a patient at St Peter's Hospital

Mr Ashwin Unnithan was my consultant in regard to my osteoarthritis of the knees. In all consultations he made sure I was acquainted with all the relevant facts and where I could obtain further information if needed. He gave detailed options for treatment and made sure that I was completely happy with the particular option taken. Once I had decided, after initially having a pain relieving injection, on knee replacement surgery Mr Unnithan, again, went through the procedure allowing me to ask any questions. He performed the operation and I am very satisfied with the outcome. I might also add that the nursing staff and the physiotherapists at Ashford Hospital were very professional, kind and considerate.

I fell heavily while running in July 2018 and smashed the collar bone on my right shoulder into many pieces. It was decided that a plate and hook needed to be inserted while the bone healed, and Mr Unnithan did the operation on the NHS. From then onwards I saw him privately. He reassured me that I should get back full use of the shoulder, but emphasised that it was important to have good physio in order to get there. He set me up with an excellent physio in the Runnymede. With her help I made good progress. In Jan 2019 Mr Unnithan did a second operation to remove the plate and hook, to avoid rotator cuff problems in the long run. A couple of weeks later I hardly notice it, and I am well on the way towards having full use my shoulder. It was a pleasure to meet Ashwin Unnithan. He listens and explains clearly. I would go back to him again if there is a next time.

After falling and fracturing my left wrist last September I was seen by Mr Unnithan at the local fracture clinic and advised that, due to the nature of the fracture the best course of action would be a procedure (ORIF) to fix the fracture by inserting a metal plate. This seemed very drastic but after listening to Mr Unnithan's reasons for this I felt confident enough to agree to go ahead. I had the procedure at BMI The Runnymede a week later. Everything from start to finish was clearly explained, I was discharged from Mr Unnithan's care in December with a fully functioning wrist and no issues. I cannot recommend Mr Unnithan enough and if I fracture anything else he will be my first port of call.

Mr Unnithan gave me a full knee replacement on the 25th August 2018. Because of a admin foul up, I was due to have another consultant carry out the operation, Mr Unnithan was assigned to me and I am very glad. Mr Unnithan is a very approachable, affable and knowledgeable consultant. He explained everything in great detail including the pain I could expect post op. The knee is performing as well as can be expected - no, I will never run again, but walking cycling, golf and gardening have all been achievable proving you adhere to the post op physio regime along with religious icing. I was given an open appointment and saw Mr Unnithan a further two occasions and he reassured me that the issues I have, will, in time go. What I can say that my knee, which before the replacement was chronic and extremely painfull but now, is now pain free. I would gladly recommend Mr Unnithan to anyone who has knee problems who are thinking about having a knee replacement. You will in very good hands, he takes your wellbeing as a priority.
