Ashwin replaced my hip which resulted in no pain following surgery. I was very mobile within a few days and driving within a week
His procedure was so good I cannot thank him enough a great surgeon - many thanks Ashwin keep up the good work

As I am overweight and have AF the first consultant I saw wanted me to have a weight reduction operation before having hip replacement surgery which I declined. I had already lost 2 stone and wanted to continued losing weight even if I had to wait longer for my hip operation and I was advised that he would pass my case to a colleague.
I then received an appointment to see Mr. Unnithan, I was nervous following my original consultation assuming that it may go the same way - how wrong was I!.
Having read the other reviews I'll find it difficult to add to them but here goes.
What an absolute credit to the profession he is, puts you at ease, explains the pros and cons and listens. I had my right side total hip replacement at Ashford Hospital on 26th July 2019 and apart from having swollen legs, which will settle in time and the muscles still being a bit tender I can honestly say that I'd forgotten what it was like to be pain free!
I can't thank Mr. Unnithan and his team enough, there are no words other than THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I've had my follow up appointment and now have an open appointment should I have any concerns etc. All the staff at Ashford were just great too, domestic staff, porters, nurses all have a hand in our care and also do a great job of looking after us.

Mr Unnithan gave me great confidence when he first met me and told what he was going to do, explaining everything in detail, despite the danger of the operation I felt in good hands. He took the trouble to phone my husband as soon as he had completed the operation to confirm it had gone well and that I was in recovery, this was much appreciated.
The damage to my old hip replacement [Birmingham hip] required a part to be ordered so there was a delay which was uncomfortable, but there was no other option. the recovery has been faster than I expected due to fantastic team of helpers he had in place to help me at home. I have just seen Mr Unnithan for my first follow up appointment he showed me the exray's of my hip and the work which had been done and answered all my query's. He has made a traumatic experience bearable.

The hip replacement operation was successful with excellent pain management. At the follow-up appointment I was seen on time without having to wait.
Mr Unithan took time to listen and answer my questions. I certainly recommend him!
