I recently had a THR revision with Dr Unnithan and the whole experience with him has been great. He takes his time to explain everything to me all the risks involved and what the outcome could be. The operation went well it was a very complex surgery as my old hip replacement did not go well and he had a lot of trouble taking the old hip out, my bone had to be broken in order for the old hip to to be taken out. Dr Unnithan has been great to me throughout the whole time before, during and after the operation he has all the knowledge and skills and he is a great Doctor i would highly recommend him and trust him. Thank you again Dr Unnithan!

Having a very severe case of arthritis on both my knees, I recently had a right total knee replacement surgery with Mr Ashwin Unnithan at the Circle Hospital. He was very clear in his explanations to all my questions and concerns and put me at ease from the very first consultation. He is clearly a very competent surgeon with a great depth of knowledge in the field and knows how to build a rapport with his patients to make them feel comfortable, through what is typically a very stressful situation. I would strongly recommend Mr Ashwin. I will be going back to him for my left full knee replacement. Thank you to Mr Ashwin, and all staff at the Circle Hospital in Reading for my fast recovery, from the physiotherapists, nurses, cleaners and cooks. Brilliant service at this hospital.

Having recently had a carpal tunnel operation I would like to convey my thanks to my surgeon Mr Ashwin Unnithan for his kindness and reassurance. Naturally being apprehensive on the day of the operation his reassurance both before and after the operation helped to ease my concerns, followed up by overseeing the removal of the stitches and instructing me to contact him if I had any worries made such a difference. I could not have had better treatment from my surgeon or the BMI Runnymede Hospital.

I recently had a total hip replacement operation performed by Mr Ashwin Unnithan. Although he had concerns regarding me taking Steroids (Prednisilone) for Polymyalgia, he said he could take extra measures to ensure that my lowered immunity would not be a problem. From the very first meeting and throughout the process, Ash has given me confidence and reassuranace, whilst still fully outlining the very small percentage of risk always involved with this surgery. He has patently answered all my questions and even gave me his personal email address, in case I had any other queries. I feel that the operation has been a great success, with no pain. I would thoroughly recommend Ash for his excellent Orthopaedic Surgery and follow-up services.

I tripped and broke my hip and had to have a replacement very recently. It was all a big shock to me as I'm only 65! I first met Mr Unnithan as I was about to enter theatre and he made me immediately reassured and confident that all would go well. He later visited me on the ward where I was recovering well. Day 1 after op I managed to walk along the corridor and up and down a flight of stairs. I would totally recommend Mr Unnithan and I want to thank him for my care.
