Dr Talwadekar was kind, professional, efficient and friendly from beginning to end. Not only did he inform me at all times of what was happening or going to happen but he also made a point of keeping my loved ones informed straight after surgery by calling them himself.
His treatment of me from beginning to end has been nothing short of wonderful and I would recommend him to anyone and wish him all the best in the future.
