I had a THR under Dr Unnithan. At 42 with 2 young children and a demanding job I initially met Dr Unnithan as a very anxious stressed patient. He was excellent at both addressing my fears but also had such a huge air of confidence I felt so much better after meeting him. My Hip operation was fairly complex and I have made a full recovery. This is,in my opinion, down to Dr Unnithan's expertise.
I had little pain even straight after the op and within 6 weeks was driving confidently. Within 2 months I had started exercising on a bike and 3 months on I have full use with no pain at all. And am exercising 3 times a week.
It can be a life changing operation; with a determined mindset and a superb expert surgeon - to whom I am very grateful
Stefanie Aged 42.
I had to have a my hip replaced for a second time which I was very scared about Mr Unnithan put me totally at ease and explained he would be using a new technique which would make my hip much more secure. I am making a very good recovery and felt I was very well looked after.
Ash was transparent in that he was willing to listen to ascertain the circumstances and to help expedite the treatment at the earliest opportunity. Most importantly made himself available and was willing to be contacted. Will definitely seek him out again when further treatment is required.
Thanks very much for your kind words
Following a fall in my garden at home I was admitted to St Peter's hospital,Chertsey.Mr Unnithan was assigned as the surgeon to perform the operation to repair my badly damaged hip.On the morning of twhichhe operation he asked to see as many of my family as possible to meet him in the ward when he explained in a clear and sympathetic way the possible serious implications on what was major surgery on a fairly elderly patient.
Following the operation Mr Unnithan took great pains to keep an eye on my progress in Swan Ward at St Peter's. He also made himself available for advice outside his professional working hours, which my daughter took advantage of for assurance that her father was really receiving the best care.
I cannot speak too highly of the skill and dedication Mr Unnithan has demonstrated nor of the manner in which he has gone out of his way to take such a personal interest in the wellbeing of his patient and in the concerns of the family.
