Mr Gaurav Batra took great care of my knee with Meniscus tear.
Saw him before operation. He was very informative about what will happen next after MRI scan, what options are available after it. He explained me clearly how operation will look like and what I can expect after.
My goal was to come back to running and he was keeping this clear, that we do this to repair my knee and put me back on track for running.
I saw Mr Batra just after my surgery and 4 weeks after operation.
My knee is healing very well, I can't wait to go back to running in Peak District.
I can recommend Mr Batra to anyone who is thinking to repair knee.

I have suffered with a serious knee problem for over 30 years, I have had 2 knee reconstructions and numerous minor operations that had little or no effect. I saw Mr Batra in 2019 and after the consultation he told me that I needed a total knee replacement which I had in September that year.
I was pain free from the operation even though there were additional complications due to the previous operations which required me to be in a brace for 6 weeks. The operation was a total success and i am pain free and I have more movement back in my knee.
I would recommend Mr Batra to any patient that requires knee surgery as he talks you through what he needs to do and make you feel at ease.
Finally I would like to put on record how grateful I was to have been treated by Mr Batra and thank him for his skills in sorting out my Knee.

After suffering with pain in both knees for some time and following 2 knee Arthroscopies I was finally referred to Mr Batra for further investigation. The outcome was that I needed knee replacements and had my first one on April 9th and am pain free in that knee and cannot wait for the next one to be done.
Mr Batra is always prepared to listen to and answer any queries both pre op and post op He gave me full explanations of my progress, and talked me through the x-rays of before and after my surgery.
I am grateful for Mr Batra's outstanding skills on my first replacement.
Thank you.

I had a total hip replacement on 16 Feb and the experience was far less worrying than I was expecting. Everything went really well and was walking without crutches within 4 weeks.
I have been able to walk up to 5 miles but have rest days in between.
The whole procedure has been excellent and any concerns I had afterwards were answered fully by Mr Batra at my first follow-up appointment.
