I suffered a pretty bad injury to my and was advised to go see Kash. I was under Kash's care from October to May. Throughout Kash was professional and put me at ease. Even when I wasnt so positive he ensured me that I was making good progress. I would highly recommend Kash to anyone with injuries such as mine.

I saw Kash for a meniscus tear in early December 2016. He showed a great mix of attentiveness and confidence, and laid out the treatment options in a very balanced way. Kash fully respected my decision to pursue less invasive treatment (physiotherapy) before going down the surgical route. I feel I was given all the information (and time) that I needed in order to make an informed decision myself.

I had to have ACL reconstructive surgery last summer. The whole experience was made far less daunting by Kash's careful and patient explanations every step of the way. I felt in incredibly safe hands. The follow up post surgery was also excellent.

I injured my knee playing rugby and I was recommended Kash for a consultation. From the initial assessment he was incredibly personable, trustworthy and he is clearly an expert in his field. He made sure that I understood the intricacies of the knee, what I had damaged, and why I was getting pain and limited movement in certain areas. It was valuable to have someone so knowledgeable about sport related knee injuries and he was able to put my mind at rest regarding realistic recovery times and how to proceed going forward. I was surprised how honest he was about whether to have the operation – he recommended that I should have it but was not pushy and made sure it was completely my decision after clearly laying out all the options. He ended up referring me back to the physio for a month to try and strengthen it instead – then it was my decision to go back to him and go ahead with it. He made sure to be in constant contact with my physio to ensure I was and have been doing the correct rehab, and also showed me a video of the operation to give me a proper understanding of the procedure he performed. This was my first serious injury and operation and I couldn’t recommend Kash more highly

Kash is amazing, and this is why... From the first appointment, he was friendly, approachable and explained things very clearly which put me at ease immediately. I was particularly taken with the fact that he didn't push to operate, but gave me my options and we decided together after a few weeks of monitoring that we should go ahead with the surgery. He has followed my progress closely and I am very grateful for his continued dialogue with my physio which I believe has contributed significantly to my speedy recovery - I will miss our appointments now that I have been discharged! Finally, Kash is an exemplary doctor and an absolute credit to the profession and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
