Mr Ashwin Unnithan

Written by a patient at Nuffield Health Woking Hospital

I was referred to Mr Unnithan with right hip pain, he was professional, understanding and offered me options for my diagnosis of chronic osteoarthritis. He advised me of the procedure, timings and what to expect after my operation. I was anxious before the operation but he and his team put my mind at rest and assured me that my concerns and worries would be taken into consideration as part of my planned operation. Post operation he was both encouraging and kind in his support of my recovery to date and what to expect over the coming weeks. The advice that he and his team in St Peter's, Ashford and the Nuffield Hospital Woking was consistent and professional. I felt really well cared for and in a safe and professional pair of hands. I really can't fault the performance of anyone and am truly grateful to the NHS for such amazing support and care.

On 1st March I had a complete knee replacement performed by Mr Unnithan at Ashford Hospital. Mr Unnithan came to see me just before the operation and reassured me that all would be well. Everything had been explained to me prior to the operation which I am pleased to say was a success. All the staff who looked after me were brilliant and I would like to say thank you to them all. I would also like to thank Mr Unnithon for performing the surgery and leaving me pain free and able to walk normally. Something I haven't done for at least 4 years.

I am very pleased with my hip replacement. He explained everything that I needed to know. The treatment before and after my operation was excellent and my own Doctor commented on how neat the cut was. So thank you Mr Unnithan.

Mr Unnithan operated on my broken patella (knee cap) after I tripped on a pavement so I was admitted as a trauma patient. When I went into theatre I had no idea who would operate on my knee as I had only seen an ortho registrar in A&E. It was a very complicated break so screws and wire were used to repair it and the ligaments were sewn up. I was so fortunate Mr Unnithan was on duty as he is the most caring surgeon I have ever known - when I went back for my first check-up a week after the surgery he admitted he had been worried the previous evening in case it had not worked. He told me not to bend my knee more than 20 degrees but told me the importance of physiotherapy to avoid too much stiffness and loss of muscle. I first saw my physio after my stiches were taken out when I was given some exercises to keep the strength in the muscles in my leg/knee. On seeing my physio for exercises she also regularly massaged around my knee to reduce the swelling and loosen the muscles. I had my six month check recently and Mr Unnithan was very pleased with the way my knee had healed and the strength/mobility I have now so the physiotherapy has really paid off. I am extremely pleased too as there was a lot of doubt as to how mobile I would be after such a bad break. I really cannot recommend Mr Unnithan enough as he is not only a very good surgeon but has a lovely bedside manner and is very concerned with his patient’s welfare. He always tells you to contact him any time with any concerns or questions.
