Mr Kash Akhtar

Written by a patient at Fortius Clinic

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.

I have been a colleague of Mr Akhtar's for more than 3 years. I have worked as a Senior Physiotherapist in both the United Kingdom as well as in Australia. As such, I have dealt with dozens of Consultants in my years of private practice. Few Consultants I have ever worked with come close to Mr Akhtar's level of professionalism. Clinically, Mr Akhtar is excellent. I have always had 100% confidence in referring a patient for an opinion on management. Mr Akhtar's team always endeavour to book in mutual patients promptly which is hugely beneficial to the management process. I would always receive a clinical letter with Mr Akhtar's rehabilitation recommendations within 24 hours, which again, is very beneficial for the patient's pathway to recovery. I have seen Mr Akhtar's patients post-operatively following a variety of surgical procedures such as arthroscopy, reconstructive surgery (such as ACL) and trauma surgery. I strongly endorse Mr Akhtar's abilities as a surgeon. Many of his cases recover ahead of expected due to the minimally invasive nature of his surgery. Swelling and early range of motion are almost always much better than with other surgeons. Mr Akhtar's clinical reasoning and surgical skills are complemented by a delightful bedside manner. He is warm, empathetic and caring to all patients. If you have a serious injury or are in serious pain, it can be a very stressful time. Mr Akhtar has an unparalleled ability to put people at ease in these difficult times. To re-iterate, Mr Akhtar is one of the best Doctors I have ever worked with - both in the UK and Australia. I strongly endorse his services to anyone with a knee issue.

Very positive experience with Dr Kash - he breaks things down well and takes time to explain!

Dr Akhtar treated me for a collateral ligament injury across July and Aug 2020. From the start, Dr Akhtar was friendly and really put me at ease. After my initial clinical examination, I had an MRI and Dr Akhtar talked me through the results. He spent time explaining what the injury was, what the MRI showed and how this fit in with his clinical examination, and did so in a clear, easy to understand and jargon-free way. My appointments with Dr Akhtar never felt rushed and there was always plenty of time to ask questions. I'm really pleased with the way I was treated throughout the process with my injury and would certainly recommned Dr Akhtar.
