I recently saw Mr Batra, he was very clear on my hip issue and gave me an honest assessment and told me to carry on exercising, rather than opt for immediate operation.
I would recommend him for any concerns you have regarding hip, or knee concerns you have.

Mr Batra treated me as a person and really took into consideration that I needed to be able to dance. He was very thorough and didn't rush my consultations enabling us to make the right decision for me and my recovery.
I would 100% recomment to a family member or friend.

Made me feel comfortable on every visit and during the operation. Listened and gave me answers to all my questions. Made me feel like I was a private patient, even though my operation was NHS, very professional.

I went to Mr Batra with chronic tendonitis with partial tear of my groin tendon, which was referring pain to my lower abs. This was affecting my sport and excercise as well as daily life.
Mr Bartra is knowledgeable and confident, able to relate back to his own experiences with sport. He suggested changing diet and specific excercise routines to help weight loss, thus reducing loading and strengthening while helping it to heal. I didn't realise I had that much weight to lose, but he gave me a specific goal which helped motivation and the 80% diet, 20% exercise rule has been proven true.
It's a long term injury and is not yet 100% healed, but the follow up appointment was encouraging and I'm confident that if I build in his new suggestions and continue my regimen, I will fully recover.
Though it has been all my own effort to recover, I appreciate the treatment has been the most appropriate and will hopefully build in long term resilience. Mr Batra's guidance has been invaluable and I am overall very pleased with my care.

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. I started higher surgical training in 2003 and passed my FRCS (Orth) exam in 2007. 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. I completed my MFSEM with The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 2018.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile.
