Mr Kash Akhtar

Written by a patient at Fortius Clinic

After suffering a reasonably complex skiing injury (multiple ligament damage and fracture) and not making the progress I had hoped some months later, I went to see Mr Akhtar for a second opinion. He was approachable, supportive and importantly clinically clear; taking the time to explain his clinical logic. He was incredibly thorough and provided a full assessment and opinion. He reassured me that with concentrated physio, the reconstruction surgery that had been recommended was unlikely to be necessary. Mr Akhtar proactively called my physio to introduce himself, open up communication and guide him on the rehab I needed. Together they created the joined up Clinical / Physio plan that I had been missing. A great demonstration of proactively working together across disciplines to achieve the best outcome. He genuinely cares and his ethos very much supports seeing his patients return to full fitness in the best way possible, not necessarily through surgery. His PA Ella shares this caring abc supportive ethos and was so very accommodating around busy diaries! Mr Akhtar absolutely restored my confidence that I could get back to fitness without surgery and I’m incredibly grateful that I’m now back on track and won’t be missing next season!!! Would highly recommend Mr Akhtar!!

Kash takes time to explain and also to listen. These are very important aspects to build trust with the patient. We discussed different scenarios in order to be aware of the consequences but also the risks associated to any surgery. Kash is a very talented surgeon and also very confident which is key in this sector. To put it in a nutshell, he knows what he is doing and do it well.

I came to Kash with a running-related knee injury after many months of trying conservative, physio-led treatment. Kash very clearly laid out my options and I felt in a good position to make the decision for myself to pursue surgery. The procedural itself was the removal of an endobutton from a previous ACL reconstruction (not by Kash!), a partial meniscectomy, removal of inflamed ITB tissue and a window sewn into the ITB to prevent further ITB syndrome. Kash made me feel very comfortable before the work and afterwards was pleased to hear that the surgery had gone exactly to plan. I could not be more pleased with the recovery - with a careful physio plan in place, I returned to running 8 weeks after surgery. Four months later I was cycling up mountains, and just under six months after the surgery I was ready for the new track season and ran a 22-second PB in the 5000m - I came back in far better shape than I was before the injury, and will be forever grateful to Kash for giving me back my passion. It's also worth noting that Kash was very easy to communicate with during the rehab phase. From time to time I would get some swelling or discomfort - completely expected after surgery - and I would either communicate by email or by short-notice appointment with Kash, who would offer advice and put my mind at rest when there was nothing to worry about. Thanks Kash!
