I am patient with added spinal complications who went to Mr Avanti for a Knee Replacement. He did spend time listening to me and we agreed a Total Knee Replacement. Six weeks on I am very happy with the result and the service / treatment I received.

Easy to talk to. He listens to your concerns. Is very approachable and professional. Am more than happy with the care he has provided and would certainly recommend him to anyone considering hip surgery.

Mr Arvinte was very professional at all times clearly explaining all that was going to happen and what could go wrong with the operation. It was carried out successfully and l was treated well throughout my stay in hospital.

Mr Arvinte recently did a replacement hip operation on my Mum, he was very thorough in explaining the process and great aftercare too.

I was on the NHS waiting list for years to have total replacement on both knees and was told that they did not know how much longer I would have to wait. I was in a great deal of pain and decided to go private. Unfortunately, I could not have the surgery at private hospital due to a cardiology issue. I was due to be admitted to Bedford Hospital for surgery on 10 September. it was cancelled as there was no bed available, I was extremely upset. Fortunately, I did not have to wait long and was admitted two weeks later. My experience during my stay at Bedford Hospital for total knee replacement (right) was as follows: - I was escorted to waiting room, I had to undress, given a gown in readiness for operation. Mr Arvinte and anaesthetist explained very eloquently the procedure, which was reassuring. I had to get undressed and put gown on in readiness for operation which could have been embarrassing as anyone could have walked in. I sat in my wheelchair for some time before being taken to theatre which was very uncomfortable. Mr Arvinte and anaesthetist came to see me on second day, I was told that surgery went well, such a relief. Tavistock Day Ward was really cramped, there were no chairs for visitors. I had a stool, it was too low to elevate my operated knee on, the nurse kindly gave me a pillow to place on stool, it was still too low. Nurses do their best under very difficult circumstances. On follow--up appointment Mr Arvinte stated that knee was progressing well, i do my exercises regularly, obviously this has paid off.. I am so grateful to Mr Arvinte and his team for giving me back some independence and making life easier for my wondeful husband,, my carer. I am waiting to have my other total knee replacement, hopefully I will not have to wait too long..
