I had a very badly shattered elbow and Mr. Karthik Karuppaiah has fixed it good as new. I really couldn’t have hoped for a better outcome. When the accident happened I was very concerned as my other arm only has only about 80% movement after another accident in my teenage years. So, I’m so happy that Mr. Karuppaiah has done such a fantastic job on my arm. It’s like the accident never happened and he is such a nice guy too, very reassuring and calming, especially in hospital when I was quite distressed.

Dr Karuppaiah was brilliant from day 1. Professional, friendly and honest, one of the best doctors I've had the pleasure of meeting. I couldn't have asked for a more qualified and talented professional either.

In April 2018 Mr Karuppaiah surgically corrected severe (90 degree) Dupuytren's Contracture in my left ring finger and less severe contracture in my little finger. Four months on, and following excellent aftercare from Mr Karuppaiah and the hand clinic at Kings both fingers are straight and I have complete return of grip and function. The scars are healed and sensation is returning.
The quality of care I have received from my first outpatient appointment with Mr Karrupaiah right up until discharge from his clinic today reminds me how lucky we are to have an NHS and to have surgeons like Mr Karrupiah willing to work within it, despite the attendant pressures.
Thank you.

I have been under the are of Dr Karuppaiah for over four years. He is an extremely knowledgeable, caring, patient and determined surgeon. He made me feel that he genuinely cared about me regaining full use of my arm and being symptom free. I am happy to say that at this moment in time, this is the case and although I am still building up the strength in my arm, the symptoms I had previously are no longer there. I am so grateful for the time, care and expertise he has given to get me to where I am now.
