Mr Talawadekar was my surgeon when I broke my shoulder.
From my first consultation he was friendly, informative, helpful, and put my mind at ease.
He always had plenty of time to explain what was going to happen in a friendly manner.
The operation went very well and the after care has been excellent.
I couldn’t recommend Mr Talawadekar enough. I hope I won’t have to be operated on by him again, but thanks Mr T for all your care.
PS He has a great sense of humour!

I can’t say enough about mr Talawadakar he was absolutely wonderful. He explained everything about my op on my trigger thumb and put me at ease. When I was in theatre he was so relaxed and friendly he made me totally relaxed and I have got to say I have seen a few surgeons but mr T is the best by a mile and would see him every time. When I went for my check up he made me feel I was his only patient. Please furness general don’t let this brilliant surgeon slip through your fingers.
