I found Mr Barkatali to be a very positive, confident professional. When I first met with him he explained that I would require a full Total Hip Replacement; he fully explained the procedure and welcomed any questions. Despite putting up with terrible pain for years I found it hard to except that I would have to have surgery. I discussed my fears and concerns with Mr Barkatali, he was very understanding and he agreed that although I was physically ready for the op, I would benefit by taking some time to mentally come to terms with it. I finally had my op in January 2018, this couldn’t of come quick enough as by now my hip had seriously deteriated. On the morning of my op he came along and asked if I had any questions or concerns? I was very anxious, even tears, he was great, I felt reassured and felt that I was in safe hands. I met up with him again at 7 weeks post op, all is going well; he was very pleased with my progress and since discharged. I would definitely recommend this surgeon.

I had my right knee replacement done in June 2017 and everything went so well I am now recovering from having my left knee done in six weeks ago and again everything is good. I would like to thank Mr Barkatali and his team very much for the care they gave me and would recommend him to anyone considering knee replacement surgery. Mr Fernandes Stockport

I had a severe knee problem and was seen by Mr Barkatali over an 18 month period. The service and care given to me was excellent. I was diagnosed as having damaged cartilage and arthritis. Injections and arthroscopy did not ease the problem. In discussion with my surgeon I was offered 3 options, half knee replacement, full knee replacement, or High Tibial Osteotomy. We jointly agreed that the best option was the High Tibial Osteotomy and I underwent surgery in April 2017. I was mobile within a couple of days and followed all the advice of Mr Barkatali in a lengthy recovery period. After the obvious pain following the operation the actual knee pain was no longer there and I could walk comfortably. The plate holding the leg in place created a few minor problems and was removed in February 2018 which resulted in my discharge and finally able to walk a full 18 holes of golf. I now feel the right decisions were taken and were successful. I am greatful to Mr Barkatali and his staff and the hospital and thank them for the treatment I received and their skill and care given and look forward to a few more years being able to do the golf, gardening and pain free holidays. Keep up the good work!!!

Mr Barkatali did surgery for revision of right knee on 26th January 2008 having had previous knee replacement 10year previos to surgery. The surgery went great Mr Barkatali inserted replacement and with Physio and my wife Kathleen effort she was signed off 6week after surgery? Can’t recomend Mr Barkatali high enough. Would recommend him to anyone having surgery by him and done at Oakland’s Hospital. Thanks Geoff Parkinson

I visited Mr Barkatali in April of 2017 following a motorbike accident. From the first day I walked into the consultation room I felt comfortable and relaxed. He diagnosed my issue which was an ACL tear. I then got booked in for surgery in the August, Mr Barkatali explained about a new procedure where he repairs the ACL rather than reconstruct. Surgery was a success with regular appointments with the surgeon. I was walking within 1 month and running within 4 months! 6months post surgery I got the all clear with massive success! I can now return to MMA which I’ve been taking part in for over 5 years. I would like to thank Mr Barkatali personally for the amazing skill he has. I would highly recommend him to anyone with any othorpedic concerns.
