I had the good fortune to first meet Kash (and the misfortune to require his help) in early 2022 after a complex sports injury left me in need of a leading orthopaedic consultant to navigate the situation. After a thorough recommendation from a friend that Kash was someone I needed to see, we embarked on a series of prehab, surgery and follow-ups lasting a total 15 months from first meeting to final sign-off. On every occasion Kash provided a seminal blend of confidence-inspiring domain-expertise and disarmingly good humour. Despite the gravity of my situation we shared many a laugh, and he taught me a great deal more than I needed to know about the inner workings of my knee both before and after treatment (not to mention a gripping video of the surgery itself). It is credit to his total dedication towards traumatic knee injuries (particularly sporting injuries) that his intervention has set my life on very different path to the one I was looking at when we first met - skiing, mountain biking, road cycling, running and kitesurfing have all made returns to my life after the pre-requisite rehabilitation work. I shall remain indebted to his help for many, many years to come.
