After retiring from an active career I started to suffer with arthritis in my joints, causing me great pain!! I was referred to see Mr Batra, at Oaklands Hospital, who, over a period of approx 3 years, has performed total replacements to both my hips, and a knee.Initially, I was terrified of this procedure, but was amazed as to how professional the operation went ....I was treated with the utmost respect, and Mr Batra took time to explain everything to me, full details of the operation, and my aftercare....in layman terms.Mr Batra put me completely at ease, and after my first operation I had no fears whatsoever prior to the second two.Mr Batra has completely changed my life, and I am totally pain free now !!! I had taken pain killers for almost 20yrs...and I do not need any whatsoever, following my last operation.

I had a total hip replacement on June 1st. It was a worrying time as I had never been in hospital before and didn't know what to expect. However everything was explained as to what would happen and all the worry seemed totally unnecessary afterwards. In just two days I was back home and after three weeks I was walking without crutches. I would highly recommend Mr Batra to anyone worried about joint replacement.

I visited Mr Batra in July after having a problem with my knee. After looking at the x-rays he explained that I would need a knee replacement at some time in the future, but would be best to delay as long as possible. He explained that my weight was contributing to the problem, and advised me to reduce it. He set me a six month target to lose one and half stone but advised that I did not follow any fancy diet, just reduce my calorie intake to 1500 calories a day which I did and achieved that target, that has made a massive difference to both my knee and the way I feel in my self. On my return visit to see Mr Batra, he explained how losing the weight would help to delay knee replacement, also how it could possibly help the knee to recover a little itself and to possibly delay surgery even longer, and advised that I carried on doing exactly with my diet as I have been doing. I found Mr Batra, very friendly with a great manner, that made you feel at ease. He explained in detail the cause of the problem and also how I could help myself in simple layman’s terms. I would highly recommend Mr Batra.

I had my total hip replacement done on the 17th June 2021 at the oakland hospital under the expert care of Mr Gaurav Batra. I was a little nervous as I had had a hip replacement done with a different doctor years earlier & the outcome hasn't been brilliant. "i had no need to worry"as three months down the line I am walking again virtually pain free on my right hip. In my opinion Mr Batra is an excellent surgeon who explains things fully & also listens to you. I would certainly recommend him.
