A great guy.
Friendly, enthusiastic, dedicated and above all extremely competent. He carried out a trapeziectomy procedure on my right wrist which was 100% successful, without any adverse issues during the 6mth healing process and I had no hesitation asking him to provide the same care for my left wrist.
I can recommend Mr. Talawadekar unreservedly.

Great service and treatment from Mr Talawadekar. He is very approachable and knowledgeable. He rebuilt my shoulder following a sporting accident which I can now use normally. I didn't hesitate to to return to him when I had an issue with my wrist, which again he resolved to my full satisfaction.
A very nice gentleman, highly recommended.

Mr Takawadekar carried out a MAIA replacement on the thumb of my left hand. From start to finish he explained everything thoroughly and in great depth. I was in plaster for six weeks but when the plaster came off I already had some mobility. I feel I had a very fast recovery - I was discharged from physio and from surgery within a 3 month period. Can not recommend Mr Takawadekar enough (he also has a great sense of humour too!)

My mother had a cyst removed from an arthritic finger on 6th December 2023. The surgery was successful and the care exemplary. Mr Talawadekar was caring, informative and put us at ease with his jovial manner.
