Mr Talewadika has now operated on both my shoulders and I have great trust in his work. The first shoulder, done a couple of years ago, is good as new. My right shoulder, 9 weeks ago, is showing good progress. He has a lovely manner and is very reassuring. His eagerness to explain what he did demonstrates his love of the job and his care for his patients.

I had trigger finger release and carpel tunnel release surgery on both of my hands separately. I had surgery on my right hand in May. The doctor removed my stitches after 2 weeks by himself as we struggled with district nurses last time. He listened to my concern and found a solution for this. He is flexible and understanding. He respects and is approachable. My left hand is fully fu coronal and my right hand is recovering.
