Mr Kash Akhtar

Written by a private patient at Fortius Clinic

As a 21st century patient, Kash embodies everything I would want from a doctor: - Taking the time to explain everything in language that I can understand; both in terms of what is happening to my body medically and what my choices are - Giving me enough information that I was comfortable in making a decision - Not pushing for treatments for the sake of it When I first saw Kash, I was in a great deal of pain. If anyone had told me at the time that the right course of physiotherapy would be appropriate (no medication, no surgery) I would not have believed them. However he was absolutely right - he put my in touch with exactly the right people who have materially changed my quality of life. His cheerful attitude is also exactly what nervous patients need. Have already recommended to other friends!

I saw Mr Akhtar following a reoccurrence of a cyst on my knee. He, and his team, were extremely efficient and professional throughout, and delivered first-rate tailored care for my problem. I thoroughly recommend him.

I am one of those people who has never had any major medical problems and have never been ill in hospital so when my knee started to hurt continuously (having ignored it over 5 years of on-and-off pain) I was apprehensive about seeing an orthopaedic surgeon and feared the worst. Kash immediately put me at ease with his positive energy, attentiveness, sharp perceptiveness to a patient's thoughts, and effective communication. After a thorough investigation and patient history, he came up with his hypothesis as to what could be the problem - Fat Pad Impingement and Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome. On the same day an MRI was carried out on my knee to establish what the problem was. Two days later over a zoom call, Kash walked me through the MRI results that confirmed his hypothesis. With the aid of technology, he took the time to explain, with pictures and a marker, exactly where the problem was inside my knee cap, and how physiotherapy treatment would help with the pain. Not only is he knowledgeable in his field, he engenders trust and is very adaptable to clients' needs. Thank you Kash!

I would 100% recommend Kash to anyone with a knee injury. I have undergone ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair with great results. Kash was supportive from our first meeting, providing a thorough diagnosis and giving me total confidence in his expertise and experience. Following Kash's guidance I worked with a physio to obtain the maximum benefit before determining surgery would be the best longterm option for my knee and a successful return to sport. Kash shared a detailed pre-op timeline and actively coordinated with my physio to ensure my knee was in the best place to allow for a swift and sustainable recovery. Kash then performed a successful surgery where he was required to perform additional meniscus repair to give me the best results. I have been delighted with the results. Firstly from the pain-free surgery, the measured and clear recovery planning and then post-operative check-ins and consultations I've had with Kash since. I was signed off 10 months post op, which given the pandemic I'm really pleased with. I look forward to a full return to sport whenever possible! If I had to summarise why Kash is a great choice of surgeon, I'd say his honest and detailed approach which gave me full confidence in him, delivered with a good sense of humour throughout. Speak to Kash, you won't regret it

I highly recommend Kash as a doctor. He and his team have allowed me the most comfortable and quick medical experience I have had in a while, and I cannot say enough good things. I had somewhat of a niche issue, and he was honest and forthcoming about the diagnosis and treatment options, and the turnaround time from when I first saw him to working through the problem has been unbelievable. Definitely recommend.
