I saw Mr Batra after having pain in my hips, he explained everything. I am now clear about my diagnosis. Mr Batra is a very informative gentleman and I wouldn't hesitate to contact him in the future.

I had my ACL reconstruction on March 2023 and I had the best surgeon I could ever wish , the operation was a success with no complications, Mr Batra was very professional but at the same time listening my concerns and giving me the right advice. I would definitely recommend Mr Batra 100% . There is nothing to improve, he is always available and respectful . A big thank you to Mr Batra's secretary Judith . Thank you so very much, I will be always grateful

Mr Batra is a superstar. After being diagnosed with bilateral hip avascular necrosis, he has listened to me and treated me with great respect.
After surgery to my right hip , I feel I have got my life back and will be singing his praises for a very long time !

Referred to Mr Batra, quick appointment and diagnosis explained. Explained options and what would be best for me, due to age, decided to try and manage initially with weight loss and exercise. However deteriorated quickly and pain was debilitating for me, Mr Batra agreed to carry out total hip replacement. The options I had were explained fully and choice given. Speedy service by Oakland’s (within 8 weeks of decision being made) for operation.
Oakland’s provided great care, I was extremely nervous and this was accommodated professionally by all.
Hip pain relief was immediate, and 7 weeks post op I was walking 5 miles on a trip to Ireland (previously struggled to walk 1/2 mile) Scar is neat and healed very well. Physio given and important to complete at home for maximum benefits.
Post op check 8 weeks with planned follow up in 4 months.
Would recommend Mr Batra and Oakland’s.

I was discharged today, after 2 hips and a knee replacement, performed by Dr Batra.From our initial meeting,both my husband and I had complete faith in him....he explained everything in detail, taking time to answer any of our concerns, in laymans terms. The operations have all been a complete success...his follow up after care was superb.
I was treated under the NHS....and I cannot believe that I have received such suburb treatment.
Mr Batra has completely changed my life, and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him 100%

I am happy to see patients who have sporting ambitions at any level and are struggling to get back to their sport. You will get honest advice about what can and cannot be done.
I understand how important it is for you to be able to continue to do the sport that you love so much and I will do my best to help you achieve this.
I qualified in 1995 from University of Wales College of Medicine with Commendation. I did my basic Surgical Training (MRCS) in Manchester in 1998. I spent three years at the Manchester Medical School conducting research into how cells behave when human bone heals after it has broken, for which I was awarded my PhD.

During my training, I did the Bolton Knee Fellowship, Leicester Hip Fellowship and visited the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota to complete a Visiting Clinician’s Fellowship.
