Mr T. Treated my Golfers elbow. His knowledge, care & attitude was fantastic. After scans he recommended & performed a PRP injection which seems to have worked well.

I felt like I was in safe hands with Mr Talawadekar. He is very experienced & knowledgeable in his field. His communication is excellent & thoughtful. The surgery went very well and my recovery was quick after following all his instructions.
I would not use anyone else and I'm so glad I chose him. He is also the loveliest human I've met in a long time.

Mr T explained everything concisely. The operation went extremely well, and pain free. It was an absolute delight to be treated by Mr T, his manner and sense of humour made for a very pleasant experience.
I would recommend Mr T 100%

Mr Talawadekar replaced the CMC thumb joint using the Maia Procedure in my dominant right hand. It all went very well. I have barely any scarring and I now have full pain free movement in my right thumb. I’m very glad I have had this done. Thank you so much.

I would like to thank Mr T for all his help with regard to my trigger finger / tendon release. He is such a lovely man. He is accommodating, kind, considerate and listens to what you have to say. He makes you feel at ease, comfortable and relaxed and, that you can discuss anything with him. His sense of humour is personable and he certainly makes you laugh. He helped me for quite some time with my hand and in the end, suggested I have a small operation to put it right. He discussed everything with me and kept things light and simple, so I could understand. He was never put off with any questions that I asked. I would have no hesitation dealing with Mr T again and would recommend him to anyone.
