Last February I had a hip replacement operation performed by Mr Batra at Oaklands Hospital...following this very sucessful operation I needed a knee replacement ( on the same side of my body) For many years my the bottom half of my leg was at a very distinct angle to my knee...causing extreme pain and noticeable limp.Before being referred to Mr Batra other Consultants at a different hospital were cintent to give me yearrly pain killing injections.!! But immediately, upon seeing my walk towards him Mr Batra commented upon my gait ( at this time I had only been Xrayed for my hip jount.We disccussd every detail with Mr Barta and I knew...with 100% confidence in him, that he would be capable of replacing my knee....totally transforming my life in every way...I had always been so concious of my visible "limp" ...somehow making me feel much older than my years.I served as a "front line" Police Officer for 33yrs prior to.my retirement and had always led an active life....but over the years my leg was certainly restricting me.My care at Oaklands was extremely caring and reassuring , by all the staff...far in excess of what I coukd have ever imagined...as Mr Batra and the staff treated me under the NHS....I would certainly recimmend Mr Batra...and all the staff at Oaklands to anyone reqiring medical attention.....Sorry for the length of this comment...but I feel the need to exoress my true honest feelings towards my treatment at Oaklands.
