Carpel tunnel both hands. The experience was less intrusive than expected. Washing and ablutions was a little difficult with both hands in bandages, however good to get it done all at once.

I received great care and straight down the line information and advice from Mr Bhat and couldn’t have wished for a better service. Suggestions for doing anything better?, none that I can think of!

Mr Bhat right from the start was very kind and understanding. I would reccomend him to anyone. He was kind and gentle and very informative as what I needed to do after my op on my hand. I can't thank him enough for putting me at ease and in such a friendly manner.

Mr Bhat was very informative with the diagnosing of my hand problem. He was assuring and amicable when I asked about any worries I had, and helped to guide me along with any further steps that I might take in the future. I told him at the time how much I appreciated the comprehensive level of detail pertaining to my hand problem, and how I was much more confident with his explaining over any other information I'd received in the past. I would highly recommend his services!
