I had a right knee replacement on the 3rd Feb.2022. Throughout the whole experience I received the most professional care and understanding from Mr. Parkar and his team. He explained everything to me before and after the operation and if I had any questions or concerns. I felt total confidence in him and would certainly recommend him to any future patient. I would like to take this opportunity to thank him and his team for all that they did for me during this time.

My experience with Mr Parkar and his team was exceptional. The first time I met him when he took a substantial amount of time to listen to me and my issues. He explained carefully what he could do to help and also bought in his registrar and trainees into the conversation so that others could benefit from his expertise. The day of the operation he spoke to me to ensure I was confident with everything i was having done (an ITB release for snapping) The following weeks after my operation my leg became more mobile and it was apparent that the surgery had been a success. A problem that had plagued me for years was finally fixed and I was able to bend my leg down stairs again. When I had my follow up appointment he assessed it, xrayed it and asked about pain and going forward. All in all good care. As much as I thought he was an excellent surgeon, I hope to never need to see him again!

I was given a clear and concise explanation to my actual condition in a professional yet humanely approach. He was able to give me the options of the types of surgery that were open to me and the advantage’s and possible disadvantages to each of the options offered to my personal circumstances. Whereas before I was apprehensive about the the complexities of surgery I left the appointment in a positive attitude and even now can‘t wait for the day.

I had Bil Trochanteric Bursitis PRP injections in February 2022, after an initial flare up that caused pain and tenderness which eased off over a three week period, I have been able to gradually increase the amount of walking I can do. Short walks to begin with a few times a day. By the sixth week I was able to walk to my local supermarket and do some shopping which I would never have been able to do prior to the PRP injections. This is the first treatment that has given me such a significant improvement with regards to pain and mobility.

Thank you for the kind words. Glad PRP injection has worked for you. Appreciate your feedback.
