I’ve been incredibly fortunate to be referred to Dr Akhtar, who has performed an arthroscopy on my right knee as I had torn my meniscus running back in October 2017. Physio and PRP injections over a six month period unfortunately did not resolve my condition, so I decided to explore the surgical route. On my first consultation Dr Akhtar made me feel very comfortable and clearly articulated the potential scenarios if I underwent the operation, which gave me confidence to pursue the operation. The operation happened 7 weeks ago and he had to remove 15% of my meniscus and was considered a success. I had a follow up consultation two weeks after that and he showed me what he did as he had videoed the procedure, which gave me confidence that he did a top class job. Since then I’ve been very disciplined with the knee strengthening exercises which has allowed me to start cycling, swimming and running without pain. When I saw Dr Akhtar this week, he was so pleased with my recovery that he signed me off, albeit I will continue to see the physio to further strengthen my knee. Without Dr Akhtar’s skill, empathy, care and precision I would not be contemplating doing the L’etape and Ironman next month. I would recommend Dr Akhtar to anyone who has a knee problem that requires surgery.
