For over a tree years I have suffered from pain in my left wrist. I have visited all possible doctors and only solution was an operation.
Operation took place on 20th of January and Dr. Gautam was my surgeon. In a few seconds he knew exactly what the problem is and was quiet confident that he can help me. Explained everything. After surgery came back to me too and told that everything went really well.
It's have been nearly 3 month... I still feel it sometimes, but I am 100 % sure that it will heal soon.
He did an amazing job. Confident professional who knows what he is doing. ... he gave me back my left hand as I already started to loose hope.
Thank you so much,
Inga

I wish to thank doctor Mr Talawadekar Gautam very much for his competence, warmth and the way he carried out the operation of the broken supraspinatus muscle tendon in my right arm. His support, the way he explained everything to me, his heart put into the entire process, from explaining everything, through the operation itself, to the control visit he showed me that I found a doctor with vocation. It is outstanding. Thank you wholeheartedly for everything and I wish you all the best.
I also wish to thank the anaesthetist and the whole team that was present during my operation on February 22nd, 2017, for a great atmosphere, their competence and warmth which I needed so much at that difficult time.
From the very beginning of my stay in the hospital until the moment I left I was surrounded by people who served me with their help, advice and support. Thank you very much to all those people whom I met in St. Peter’s Hospital. It all had a very positive influence on me and on the recovery process itself. Soon I am back to work. I am very grateful. Once again thank you all.

On 22/02/2017 I tripped badly smashing my radius at the elbow. I was unable to use my right arm and being totally right handed well, you can imagine. On 03/03/2017 Mr Talawadaker operated giving me a replacement right radial head and I now have the use of my arm and can write again. To me, Mr Talawadaker has performed a miracle and I'm only sorry that funds do not permit him to remain at St Peters and Ashford Hospitals where he would be able to continue his wonderful work. My thanks and gratitude go to Mr Talawadaker and the staff at St Peters and Ashford for the wonderful work they do. I would also like to wish Mr Talawadaker every success in Lancashire where I'm sure he will be a great success in his new post. I would not hesitate to recommend this excellent surgeon.
