My experience from the first meeting with Dr Chauhan put me at ease, such a kind pleasant understanding Doctor. Since having both my hands treated by Dr Chauhan I can’t praise him enough he really has changed my life as I’m no longer in pain. The after care was great from him and all his team nothing was too much trouble and I was always made to feel comfortable and the scares are so tidy. Anyone I talk to and has asked me about my hands I smile and praise Dr Chauhan. Thank you once again you and your staff where amazing x

Mr Chauhan is a very nice surgeon with a lovely approachable disposition. He explained my procedure so that I would understand what was going to happen and asked if I had any further questions. He was very good at putting me at ease during the procedure, explaining the steps as it was taking place. Follow up appointments were helpful and I wasn’t kept waiting. A lovely surgeon.

Right Total Knee Replacement. Monday 9th December 2019.Mr. Chauhan discussed all aspects of my condition in graphic detail & only when I chose which avenue to go down did he start to prepare me for the surgical option. He was at the bedside within 2hrs. of returning to my room, & continued to visit during my hospital stay & subsequent discharge. ( 2 days ). I saw him 5 weeks to the day post-op & am not exaggerating when I say how surprised he was at my recovery. I am walking 1-2 miles a day, as I live on the Thames estuary, the beach has been my savior. Walking on the sand 2 weeks post op improved the tightness in my hamstring like no other exercise. My leg is straight, I have no pain, my gait taller & confident. At 6 weeks post-op I return to work as a Healthcare assistant, driving & independent once again. We have a wealth of such talent in Britain. Definitely a FANTASTIC orthopaedic surgeon to choose.

This doctor's caring and listening skills are very evident. He has taken the time to listen attentively to me and to respond appropriately. Following his in-depth verbal investigations he completed a physical and x-ray examination of my condition. This was done with care and concern for the pain and discomfort I was experiencing. While carrying out this consultation he also engaged professionally with the nursing staff in attendance to ensure they were fully involved in my medical care. I was left with a feeling of positivity that, as his patient, I was in very capable and caring hands. I was also surprisingly and pleasanty educated by him in the causes and cures of my condition. His detailed explanations and advice on pain and mobility management means that while awaiting surgery, I am able to put in place the exercise and lifestyle regimes he recommended that I have found to be of immense benefit.

Thank you for your kind words, there’s a big difference between showing interest and really taking interest so when I am listening attentively, then I am listening not only to the words, but also to your feeling of what is being conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it and then I can treat you as a person. Thank you for sharing your experience.
