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.

Most open and friendly. Has a good sense of humour. Made me feel at ease. Explained what the operation entailed. Came to see me afterwards and assured me all had gone well. 5 weeks later saw me to look at wound which had healed nicely and gave further advice on what I should do.
