I would like to say a huge thank you to Mr Gaurav Batra for my hip replacement. It's really appreciated.
I would also like the NHS who made it possible. As for the staff at Oaklands Hospital, I couldn't fault their care, so a big thank you to them.
So once again Mr Batra my grateful thanks.
Mrs J Parkinson.
From my first consultation with Mr Batra I felt completely at ease and confident that I was in in good hands. Mr Batra is a gentleman and has a positive and caring manner. My condition was fully explained to me, all the options open to me were outlined along with any risks associated with whatever treatment I decided on.
I chose to have a full knee replacement and all went well . The operation was completed in 52 minutes, I was home within 5 days (including the weekend) my post operative recovery has been excellent, and the wound has healed perfectly. I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Batra to anyone who will require knee surgery in the future.
This Doctor is a true gentleman, nothing is too much for him , he listens to what you have to say an and tells you what is what. I cant praise him enough and would like to thank him for the first rate treatment he provided.
Mr. Batra delivered an excellent consultative engagement to me. I am heavily involved in jiu jitsu and had a lot of concerns about the knee treatment I needed. Mr. Batra was understanding, provided detailed advice and guidance and an excellent level of treatment.
The surgery itself was superb. I was only in hospital for a morning and left without crutches or anything. Mobility returned very quickly and within 2-3 weeks I was able to get around with no real limitations.
Post surgery, the advice Mr. Batra gave has given peace good peace of mind and confidence for the future
I have recommended to friends
I am pleased with the treatment and care I receive every time I have attended Mr Batras clinic. The help and advice given is very good and I would be happy to advice anyone to attend if hip or knee joint problems need specialist treatment is needed.
