I would just like to take this time to express my gratitude to Mr Barkatali. Not only is he friendly and approachable, he is also a first class surgeon - and believe me, I have had many since my unfortunate road traffic motorcycle accident, in September 2005. Initially I was referred to Mr Barkatali for pain in my right knee joint - premature wearing of the joint, as my left leg had taken most of the impact in my accident, my right knee had been over-compensating for lacking's in my left leg. I received surgery to explore my constant pain, then remedial micro fracture surgery, in an attempt to rejuvenate the surface of the joint - this took time to heal, but is now like it was before the erosion of the surface and meniscus. I then asked if he could address the laxity in my left knee, something I had suffered due to hyperextension of the joint in the accident - stretching the cruciate ligaments beyond being serviceable. Mr Barkatali performed the double cruciate ligament, and now I am able to walk without the fear of the leg giving way - this is a work in progress for me, as I am still working with physio to build muscle bulk in my upper leg. All of the treatment was done in a timely manner, and also worked in with my life and work demands. No surgeon is a miracle worker, but Mr Barkatali comes very close to achieving that. Many thanks for working with me, Garry Webster
