I was very impressed with Mr Talawadeker, he is friendly, courteous , and takes time to explain what is going on. My problem is with the acromioclavicular joint which he showed me on my x-ray. This gentleman is an asset to the hospital. Thankyou.

I received exemplary care from Mr Talawadekar at Furness General Hospital following a serious accident which required an emergency operation to an open fracture and dislocation of my ankle. Mr Talawadekar and his team have been superb.

I would strongly recommend Mr Talawadekar if you need orthopaedic surgery. He performed an operation for Dupuytren's contracture on my little finger and it was very successful in straightening my finger. The wound looks very neat. He is very friendly and approachable. He will listen to you and will answer any questions you may have.
I was very impressed.
