Firstly, Mr Batra was very friendly and approachable, he instilled confidence in both me and my wife and we felt comfortable to ask any questions. He made us feel we were in very safe hands, and we couldn't recommend him highly enough.
Our follow up appointments were equally helpful, we never felt rushed or unable to discuss my care. Brilliant experience from start to finish!

Since my accident at work in 2017 I have required a lot of treatment and feel I have received the best care the NHS can give. I wish to say a huge thank you to all the medical staff starting with the nurses through to Mr Batra and his team for looking after me.
Thanks again Paul Clark.

I felt that the doctor had fully explained the procedure. I was advised of realistic results following surgery. The consultant was very approachable and easy to talk to. I received first class NHS care and treatment at Trafford General Hospital. I am delighted with the post operative result and hope to have my other knee replacement carried out this year, again by Mr Bhatra.

I have been very happy being under the care of Mr Batra for my hip replacement and as I will need my other hip replacing at some point my intention would be for him to carry out this procedure too.

Mr. Batra made you feel at easy and explained the procedure he was going to take on replacing my total hip replacement. My hip replacement took place at the oaklands on the 27/11/2018 the care was 1st class from start to finish. I had a total hip replacement 2 years previous at the oaklands by a different consultant but it took a lot longer for me to recover where as by the 3 week after my operation (performed by Mr Batra) I was able to walk with one crutch by the 4th week managed to walk around the house with no crutches or sticks. Six weeks on now only using a stick outside until I regain full strength in my hip/leg. I must add the nursing staff and orthopaedic team were excellent. Also the catering staff were very efficient. I would recommend Mr Batra without hesitation for his polite manner and his expertise.

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.
