Absolutely amazed! I Can't believe the difference in my shoulder since Mr T did my surgery. I only wish I had have consulted him sooner.
He is such a pleasant and funny gentleman with a great bedside manner.
My whole experience from being admitted, the anaesthetists and the nurses care were second to none. I would personally recommend Mr T and the spire hospital.

Mr Talawadekar was very enthusiastic throughout the whole process and showed a real interest in ensuring I felt comfortable and understood the steps being taken. Being seen by someone who shows a real desire to help people is fantastic. Thank you very much!

I genuinely cannot speak highly enough about Mr Talawadekar's care. His professionalism, knowledge, willingness to both listen and explain are second to none. I am now recovering nicely following my recent CMCJ MAIA replacement operation carried out earlier this month. Having met with Mr T several times prior to the day of my surgery his consistency is also incredibly reassuring, always very polite and jovial he just puts you at ease immediately. Absolute 5* care from an absolute gentleman.
