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.

Mr Batra replaced my knee joint for osteoarthritis in November. Just 8 weeks later I can straighten my leg completely and get around much better than before. The scar has healed very well.
He listened to my problems and offered me what he felt was the best treatment. I trusted his judgement and I would happily recommend his to anyone looking for treatment for their knee.

I had a hip replacement and knee arthroscopy done by Mr Batra. The whole right hand side of my body feels better than it has done in years.
When I met him, he listened to my problems carefully. He was patient, informative and thorough.
The surgery has been a complete success and I have been left with minimal scarring and I am now waiting for my other hip to be replaced by Mr Batra.

Mr Batra listened carefully to me about my knee problem. He was very patient. I was booked in for a knee arthroscopy which was doe 7 weeks ago
My knee is much better. If things become a problem again, I will see him again.
Many thanks Mr Batra!

Mr Batra did a hip replacement for me in August this year. Both my hips are affected and I have now gone on his list to have the other side done.
I am very pleased with the treatment I received. It exceed my expectations. Mr Batra was extremely patient and explained my treatment to me thoroughly, making me feel at ease. The follow up care after my hip replacement was excellent and I would have no problems recommending him to a friend, colleague or family.
