Mr Gaurav Batra PhD, FRCS (Orth), FSEM (Sports Med)

Written by a patient at Oaklands Hospital

From start to finish, Mr Batra has been nothing but professional, respectful, supportive and insightful. In my case, I initially had an arthroscope to assess my knee. This was a joint decision to give myself the opportunity to do as much rehab and gain confidence in my knee again. Unfortunately after going back to sport I tore the remainder of my ACL and saw Mr Batra again to discuss my reconstruction. He was confident about helping and gave me belief that with hard work, I could get back to sport. For those going into an ACL reconstruction, you have to put in a lot of effort and devote yourself to the rehab (6-9 months). Mr Batra has always reinforced that he can do the best job in the world during surgery but if you don’t put in the effort after then it will not be worth it. The rehab programme I followed was built by Mr Batra, is highly detailed and enforced by the physiotherapists, outlining that everything has been thought of. I would highly recommend Mr Batra and have complete trust in his knowledge and ability to help.

I saw Mr Batra today to consent to my second knee replacement, I had my first replacement in March at Oakland's' Hospital, were I was treated with kindness and consideration by Mr Batra and all the staff at Oakland's who looked after me. I now feel ready to place myself once again in Mr Batra's capable hands. From my first consultation I have felt confident in his expertise, everything is fully explained, the good and the bad and I'm sure the outcome from my second operation will be every bit as good as the first.

i can not praise Mr Gaurav Batra enough. In May i had a hip replacement and i have to say it was brilliant, i have been thrilled to bits with what he and his team have done i am totaly pain free. In October i had a knee replacement and i have to say it was explained to me it would be different to the hip and it is. I have to say recovering from the knee has taken slightly longer and again i was told it would be.compared to the hip, but worth it. Mr Batra put me at ease from day one and i was feeling very comfortable from the very 1st appointment right through to comming out of hospital after the op.

I think Mr Batra did a great job and I would recommend him to anyone. If ever I needed the other hip doing I would go back to him because he is such an excellent surgeon and gentleman.

Mr Batra did a complete knee replacement on my right leg on the 13 of September this year (2018) and I am now driving and doing most of the things that I did before, only now I do them pain free, well almost pain free lol. Mr Batra is a very compassionate man who explains every little detail of what is going to happen before during and after he operates on you. I would and will tell anyone that if you are in pain and are told you need a knee replacement, then ask to speak to Mr Batra, because in my opinion he is one of the best surgeons I have ever come across (and I have had many operations). I would have no qualms about telling people to go to the Oaklands hospital. It is staffed with some wonderful people, everyone from the cleaners, nurses, reception staff to the doctors. If every hospital was as good as here the NHS would never have any bad press. So all in all I can not say anything negative about either Mr Batra, the hospital or my after care, just a very big thank you to all who were involved in my care.
