Mr. Somashekar replaced my knee last year and his care from the first appointment to my discharge from hospital was exceptional. Nothing is too much trouble for this man and he always takes time to listen to what you are saying. My replaced knee is working very well and I do not have any problems with it at all. I saw him again today as I now have to have my other knee replaced and I have great faith in his abilities. I would recommend Mr. Somashekar to anyone about to have a knee replacement. His post-op advice is spot on, the more you work with your knee the better it will be.

I was refererred to Mr Somashekar for what was thought to be a knee problem. Mr Somashekar immediately suspected that it was my hip causing the problem and his diagnosis was absolutely correct. At 45 years of age, it was a shock that my left hip had to be replaced. Mr Somashekar explained to me what was required and prepared me over a period of time for the operation, allowing me to make the decision. The operation was successful and life changing. I can now ride my bike, cross train and walk again. Before the operation, I was using a stick, in lots of pain and could only walk for a few meters. Mr Somashekar is still checking up on my recovery. I would sincerely thank him for giving me back my quality of life. Mr Somashekar is obviously a specialist in his field, he is also very personable and happy to listen and give advice. The care that I received from Mr Somashekar and his team at Mount Vernon Hospital was second to none.

Mr Naresh Somashekar has performed previous knee surgery for me and was very pleased with the results, so was very happy to discover he was the surgeon to perform my next op. Apart from being an excellent surgeon i find him to be simply a nice guy.

Mr Somashekar did my right hip replacement at Mount Vernon after my consultant called in sick. He was very professional but kind & explained what he was going to do. The treatment was faultless & I am now in excellent health thanks to Mr Somashekar. So thank you very much & if I ever need my left hip replacing then Mr Somashekar will be the consultant I will go to.

Dr Somashekar was my consultant during my pain and helped me to walk again I now have a new lease of life thanks to him. He performed my first operation on the 27th of November 2015 and the second one on the 3rd of June 2016 I am now completely pain free. He explained everything to me. After a few hours of my operation he came to see if I was ok and how I was feeling making sure I was ok which was very nice. Once again I thank him for my new life.
