Reviews
Kash came highly recommended from several trusted sources and really stood up to his reputation. He was phenomenal from start to finish, a clear expert in his field, and left no stone unturned in fixing my knee. He was open and transparent, and always explained in very clear terms his thinking and proposal for next steps. Really enjoyed getting to know Kash through the process and would highly highly recommend him - his is world class in his field.
Really good experience. Great knee operation and got confidence back in the knee. What more can you ask for?
Superb
Outstanding doctor. Self-evident that he has phenomenal expertise and it was no surprise to learn that he is recognised as one of the leaders in his field worldwide. But he combines that expertise with charm and friendliness, which makes you feel at ease. He explains quite complex clinical issues in a way which makes them easy to understand and in that way helps patients make important decisions on treatment with confidence.
I visited Mr Akhtar due to a problem with one of my knees. He was very professional, after a preliminary investigation, he very clearly explained the suggested course of action involving X-rays and MRI. These scans were arranged swiftly and the follow up appointments also arranged within a short time-frame.
Mr Akhtar listens well, and is an excellent communicator, explaining technical medical points in plain English.
He suggested that several course of action. We agreed to start with physiotherapy which has significantly improved the use of the knee. Managed to avoid other interventions, though comforting to know that they could be arranged, if required, with just a phone call.
Over the years, knees suffer from wear and tear, Mr Akhtar gave me a thorough understanding of the minor issues which could require some attention in the future.
Back to cycling now, and looking forward in due to course, to resuming the great game of golf.
A pleasure to have met Mr Akhtar, and had him resolve the issue with my knee.
Would thoroughly recommend him along with the excellent physiotherapist who has provided regular updates back to Mr Akhtar. In summary, an excellent consultant, great communicator.
I have been seeing Mr. Akhtar for 4 or 5 years as a result of tears in my MCL and Meniscus, as well as a loose ACL following reconstruction 10 years prior with another surgeon.
He understood my ongoing issues, the affects on my body and was sympathetic to how surgery and types of recovery would impact my work and family life. Mr Akhtar was able to present options to me on how to manage (strengthen) or repair some or all of my injuries. Together we agreed on a phased strategy to explore all non surgical options, before then looking at surgeries. I opted for a Meniscus repair after trying non surgical options, this was phase 1 of 3 of my surgical options. The operation went very well, my immediate post op recovery was incredibly fast and three months after the operation, I am still pain free. If the pain or instability comes back I know we have a plan to deal with my two remaining injuries, which is very comforting.
Having dealt with other surgeons in the past I can confirm that Mr Akhtar for communication, knowledge and surgical procedure has been the best. I will continue to see Mr Akhtar if I do have any future knee issues.
