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.

There was a bit of confusion over the appointment time ,however the operation was completely successful and the improvement is already noticeable.Its my second repeat of the same CT operation and i was told in advance it may not prove as good as the first time but I'm already feeling it's a complete success.

Mr T has performed three operations on my fingers/hands/wrist in the past six months. I would recommend him not only as a mist competent surgeon but also as someone who is kind, considerate and puts patients at their ease. He has a great sense of humour too! He clearly has a very strong work ethic as well, carrying out surgery at weekends and on one occasion, on a bank holiday.
I am delighted by the changes the surgery has meant for me and cannot thank him enough. All this was done via NHS.

Mr Talawadekar treated me for finger surgery. He is very informative about the surgery and made me feel at ease (pre and post procedure).
He understood my anxiety about getting back to normal activities, i.e. fell walking and kayaking.

From my first appointment I felt I was being listened to, I have been neglected by the NHS for over three years regarding the issue I came to see Dr Talawadekar about, but straight away he helped and within 2 month from first appointment to now I feel I have have the resolution I have been fighting the NHS for so long for, thank you so much!
