I had hip pain and I saw Mr Batra who first injected my hips. These helped for a while but then the pain came back. I needed a hip replacement which Mr Batra.
My hip replacement went well but I suffered confusion as a result of the anaesthetic. My discharge was delayed. Mr Batra attended to me during this period and the hip is now much better.
I would definitely recommend him to family and friends. 100%!

I saw Mr Batra for problems with my hip. I was diagnosed with a labral tear.
I have had an injection into my hip on Mr Batra's calm clear advice. I feel the treatment he proposed was the most sensible for me given my age and situation. He took a 'whole' person view and I am glad to say that my symptoms are much better.

After a full hip replacement in August and two follow up appointments I can only give Mr. Batra 10 out of 10. It is brilliant to be pain free.
I am 78 years old and can now walk without a stick, bend down and pick things up and even dance my wife round the kitchen.
Many thanks.

Dear Mr Batra,
I should Like to express my gratitude for your expertise in the repair of the serious fracture of my right distal femur. Thank you for explaining my options so clearly. Your consideration for my future welfare has ensured my mobility. I could, otherwise, have been confined to a wheelchair.

I first met Mr Batra many months ago when I was referred by my GP with groin pain. I hadn't realised the pain was related to quite severe arthritis in my hip. It came as a shock when Mr Batra told me about this and I was quite upset. He took his time and explained everything in detail. I first had an injection into my hip joint to confirm the pain was coming from hip arthritis. Being quite young for a hip replacement, I was understandably a little reluctant to have surgery.
I found Mr Batra to be very patient. He listened and understood my problems and I trusted his judgement. Eventually I opted to have a hip replacement and some months on, I am very happy with the outcome.
I am walking unaided and the scar has healed very well.
During my follow up appointment, we went through what exercises I can do long term. He was very keen that I remain active and described carefully the long term restrictions and what I could safely do, including a small amount of gentle jogging on softer surfaces.
I would recommend him to friends and family because he is so approachable.
