Went to see Mr V with arthritis and a very nasty bunion. After explaining all the options very clearly we decided on a Cartiva implant - it has been only six weeks since the operation and already I feel so much better. I am fully looking forward to being able to wear heels again (but not just yet!). Could not fault this consultant at all. He listened and explained. Would thoroughly recommend him.

I'm a very active woman so to be blighted with severe arthritis in my toe joint was physically and mentally harming to me. Mr V explained my options and we agreed a cartiva toe implant would be a fitting option. The recovery was long and painful but after a year I have almost full use of my foot and I can run, walk, do yoga and can wear decent heels now!

I was admitted to Queens with a fractured neck of femur due to a fall from a cycle. Mr vemulapalli was totally explicit in the pros and cons of various surgical procedures. He explained how replacement would enable quicker recovery, but in the long run is more likely to need a further replacement and would requiring more restrictions in the short term.

My daughter injured her ankle while dancing and after being recommended to Mr V we went to see him. He always took the time to listen and explained everything very clearly to both of us. He engaged with my daughter and ensured that she understood what was happening to her ankle and her options. We all agreed to try non surgical treatment at first but as my daughter was heavily into her dancing it soon became clear that she would need surgery. Again, Mr V explained everything very clearly and did not sugar coat anything for her. She knew what she was going to be going through and what to expect. Surgery was successful and my daughter is now back to her full dancing capacity again. I could not recommend Mr V enough to anyone needing specialist treatment.

My 2 year old daughter was seen by Mr V and was diagnosed with Metatarsal Adductus a deformity of the foot. I had been worried as she had very poor balance and continuously tripped. Mr V was so kind and reassured me that although she would be in plaster for @ 6 weeks it was better to get it treated straight away, he also said that she would adapt easily to the plaster, which she did. Her foot is now straight and her balance almost perfect. Mr V is going to keep seeing her for a while as she has special boots to keep her foot straight as she grows. He has such a kind and carrying attitude that gives you confidence and I would not hesitate to recommend Mr V to anyone.
