Reviews
High quality surgical skill. Pre-operative and post-operative care informative and friendly and professional. I would recommend this Super Pathway approach to anyone who qualifies for it. Speed of recovery was excellent. Both nursing and clinical care at Warwick was excellent.
Hi excellent doctor, very caring but direct as well, told me to lose some weight which was absolutely right. I didn't ask many questions about my knee replacement as I had a half done but I would encourage a new patient to ask questions about anaesthetic choices, physio and full recovery time. I had forgotten how long it took to get knee bending, strong again and full scar tissue to recover. Be prepared for a long recovery for the knee to feel normal but worth it to get rid of daily ongoing pain. Stitches in knee were problematic with both operations but that is just the location as bending the knee causes pressure so be patient.
Mr. Faisal encouraged me to work hard to get full knee movement back which I did with help of regular physio and exercise bike/exercises at home.
It was the second operation with Mr Faisal and was very pleased with result. I would recommend.
A very understanding person, who made me feel comfortable and as important as anyone else. He was very prompt and discussed in detail my case. I was pleased that he understood my feelings as well as the surgery and recovery that I have undergone.
Mr Faisal was very good at explaining what was happening and what could be expected. He took time to listen to my side of the problem and gave the support and kindness we all require when we have a medical problem. His advice and predictions about my operation and recovery were spot on correct. I can recommend him to anyone requiring medical attention.
I went to see Mr Faisal after twisting my knee whilst walking, I was soon given a MRI scan which showed I was in need of a half knee replacement
Mr Faisal explained all the pros and cons of this surgery and explained the complete process of a Oxford half knee replacement and put me completely at ease
I went ahead with the operation and am very pleased with results 8 weeks on I have full movement and back at work, I can not thank Mr Faisal and his team enough for the care and treatment I received and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Profile
Mr Faisal qualified in 1992 from the prestigious Aligarh University in India. He then went on to complete his masters (MS) in Orthopaedics. He completed his UK training in the West Midlands, Sheffield and Warwick. He also did a one year fellowship in hip and knee arthroplasty in the UK and supplemented this with fellowships at world renowned lower limb reconstruction units at Mayo Clinic, USA and at Vancouver General Hospital, Canada.
Mr Faisal has extensive experience in primary and revision hip and knee replacement especially minimally invasive hip replacement, ceramic on ceramic and uncemented hip replacements.
Mr Faisal also performs hip replacements using the SUPERPATH technique which is a tissue sparing procedure allowing patients to get back their mobility quicker and walk unassisted the day after surgery and leave the hospital without the restrictions normally patients follow after total hip replacement. A SUPERPATH Hip replacement technique is designed to precisely reconstruct the hip without cutting muscles and tendons or stretching muscles that are important for hip function.
Mr Faisal also offers customised total knee replacement surgery using patient specific instruments to streamline total knee replacement surgery according to patients anatomy. The Zimmer Patient Specific Instruments Planner is the next generation in surgical planning. The surgeon can preoperatively view the patient’s anatomy in its purest geometrical form to develop a customised surgical plan for each patient.
Mr Faisal has been working as a Consultant in Lower Limb surgery at Warwick Hospital since 2008
