I recommend Mr. Talawadekar completely. I agree with previous reviewers that his lovely manner and lively personality put me at ease and made me confident that the operation to insert 3 enormous titanium screws would 'fix' my broken hip. I am looking forward to getting back on my bicycle, salsa dancing and walking up a few more mountains.
Many thanks for the first class care from the orthopaedic team and staff at Furness General.

Very professional, had a nice manner. I had total trust in his opinion and with the surgery he performed.
If I am unlucky enough to break anything else I would be happy for him to take care of me.
I observed him giving training to others and felt condfident in his instruction.

My name is Stephen Bailey and I cannot praise or thank Mr Talawadekar enough following my bicycle accident. The repair of the complicated shoulder fracture and dislocation was handled excellently and so far the recovery could not have gone any better. His pleasant demeanour and upbeat personality put you at ease straight away and any questions I asked were answered thoroughly. He and his team (and the NHS) were also able to quickly fit me into their busy schedule due to the urgent nature of the repair. As much as I do not wish to injure myself again, should the worst happen I would have no concerns whatsoever about being under his care again. Many, many thanks Steve

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!
