Mr Talawadekar did a brilliant job on my left shoulder, I had the same op a few years ago on my right shoulder with another surgeon but the recovery after this one seems to have been a lot quicker and feels amazing, he listened to everything I had to say.

I am extremely pleased with the high level of service and care that Mr Talawadekar has provided for me over the past couple of weeks.
Due to braking my left clavicle into 4 pieces, I required surgery. This looked to be a demanding task for Mr T however, he did a fantastic job. He is very knowledgeable and informative leaving me feeling confident in my steps to recovery!
I can't thank him enough!

Mr Talawadekar is in our opinion the equivalent to Noel the super vet, both my Husband, and Myself cannot thank him enough for what he achieved in the surgery performed it was unbelievable. He is such a kind thoughtful, and precise person explaining every step of the treatment, and afterwards is still happy to carry on with care, and understanding to put us both at ease. I am just so happy that it was him who undertook the operation, and that he works within the N.H.S still in my mind the best medical treatment in the world. Hopefully we will see you in 4 weeks to check on the ongoing recovery.
Many thanks Mr Talawadekar.
