I felt Dr Parkar listened to what I had to say. He made it very clear what I needed, in a very friendly and professional way.

I was referred to see Mr Pakar via the NHS. The reason for my visit being debilitating arthritic problems with my left knee. Mr Parkar viewed the X-ray & scans on my left leg & confirmed that the level of damage to my knee joint would benefit best from a total knee replacement. He explained that my existing condition is not helped by the fact that I am a gout sufferer. Mr Parkar took the time to explain, with great care, how the procedure would be Carried out. In addition, he explained the risks involved with the procedure. On the day of the surgery Mr Parkar visited my room prior to the procedure & checked to see that I was in a good place for the procedure to be carried out. From my point of view, throughout my experience with Mr Parkar he maintained a friendly caring bedside manner. At my post surgery follow up Mr Parkar maintained his friendly caring demeanour & gave me good advice in relation to future physio therapy. In addition, Mr Parkar took the time to show me an X-ray of my knee post operation. Having been through the knee replacement procedure I consider that I was very lucky to have been in the hands of Mr Parkar.

Throughout my interaction with Mr Parker I have found him very professional, listening to my concerns, explaining the process and reassuring. I always felt he was the best consultant to do my half knee replacement. This was confirmed when I was up and walking around without crutches after 1 week.

I had my left knee replacement done approx 18 mths ago by Mr Parker and had to have my right knee replaced in January and was so pleased it was Mr Parker that would be doing the operation again and once again an excellent outcome would highly recommend Mr Parker without any hesitation

I had my knee orthoscopy second time in November 2023, Had a loose body and had been removed by Dr Asif Parkar, when I did my first autoscopy back in 2020 no follow-up by my doctor and wasn’t successful. But when I have done a second time in November 2023 I believe has been removed by Dr Asif Parkar. I had a post-surgery appointment with him, he is a genuine caring doctor. Higly recommended Doctor Mr Asif Parkar.
