Mr Kash Akhtar

Written by a patient at Fortius Clinic

I went to see Kash after suffering knee pain following an intense period of exercise. After an initial consultation, he was able to give a diagnosis of what he thought the problem would be and I had an MRI which confirmed his diagnosis. He then very quickly set me up with a physiotherapist as the next step. It's clear he's a very experienced knee consultant and he takes great care in explaining the diagnosis with the use of the knee model. He's very reassuring and I left with a real understanding of how to successfully recover from my injury. Highly recommend!

Kash provided exceptional care. He was very smart and accurate in diagnosing my issues, recommending appropriate scans and treatment, and clearly and carefully explaining the findings. He is clearly a true expert in his area. All my questions were answered in detail. Kash was always happy to listen carefully in order to discuss and agree the best course of action for me. Kash also recommended excellent physio and podiatry. It was a pleasure to meet Kash, and I really appreciated his care. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him (and those he recommended) to others. If I have a need to return in the future, I will do so without hesitation.

Dr Akhtar has helped me through a difficult period after previous knee surgery (ACL replacement) with another consultant had left me in severe pain. He was able to diagnose several issues that had gone unnoticed by others and was very considerate and understood my situation perfectly. He performed another complex surgery with further ligament replacement (MCL) and went to great lengths to give me the best chance of recovery as possible. He has been very diligent in checking on my progress and has always re-assured me with his experience and medical knowledge. I feel very grateful to Dr Akhtar for all his efforts and appreciate all his care and attention.

Kash was very helpful following up via email after an initial consultation and follow up treatment. He initially listened to my history with respect to my left knee meniscus tear and I felt far more comfortable discussing the injury than with a previous surgeon I had visited. He explained to me all of the options with surgery being the last resort. Treatment so far has worked but if I do decide to have the surgery I will be going back to Kash for the operation.

I suffered a knee injury (ACL and Meniscus tear) while skiing in Feb 2019. I visited Kash to consult with him about the injury right after. From Day 1 through today, Kash has made sure he gave me the information I need and took care of me in the best way I can imagine. I still remember the first conversation I had with Kash about my injury. He knew exactly what was wrong after the diagnosis, gave me necessary support and confidence that the injury can be treated, and provided me with all the necessary information. Kash took enough time to show me models of the knee and explain the injury in detail. He was detailed in his explanation which allowed me to understand the complications and benefits of having an ACL replacement and Meniscus repair surgery. He gave me enough time to think through the surgery and prepare in the best possible manner. He coordinated with the Physical Therapy specialists to keep tabs on my progress pre and post surgery. The support Kash provided before the surgery gave the confidence that I am with the right consultant. He completed a complex ACL replacement and Meniscus repair surgery and gave me all the necessary post-surgery rehab guidance. His guidance ensured that I had a relatively pain free initial recovery (first four weeks after Surgery) and recovery after that. I definitely recommend Kash to anyone with knee complications. He is one of the best out there! Thanks, Kash!
