Mr Navraj Atwal

Written by a private patient at The Cheltenham Nuffield Hospital

From the out outset I was treated with courtesy and respect. After our initial consultation, Mr. Atwal agreed to go ahead with a full replacement of my left knee. This was my first time as a private patient as I had always been treated on the NHS in the past. My decision to "go private" was a result of the present situation, where waiting lists are so long. I would also like to say that any previous treatment I have received on the NHS has been very good. However, I do appreciate that under the care of Mr. Atwal and his staff the care I received was much more intense and everyone concerned went that "extra mile" to make sure that my time in hospital was excellent. Mr. Atwal visited me after the operation and confirmed that the operation had all gone well and that he was pleased with the result. Six weeks after my operation I had a further consultation with Mr Atwal and he seemed extremely pleased and praised me for helping the healing process by working hard with a series of daily exercises. He, therefore discharged me with a check up next year. It has been a life changing and excellent experience.

Mr Atwal gave me complete confidence prior to the surgery for a hip replacement. I was not concerned at all. The after care was very positive and I feel that this aided my recovery greatly. I can not suggest improvements to the service.

Good surgeon. I would recommend him. I'm less enamoured by the aftercare provided by the Cheltenham Nuffield. They need to do more physio for patients like me who had a total knee replacement. I suggest they provide treatments at local physio organisations.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mr Atwal. His work was exemplary and I have recovered very speedily from my hip operation, without any issues. (6 weeks on) I have had no previous experience of major surgery but during the consultation period Mr Atwal described in detail the procedure and provided the necessary confidence. His care while in hospital was without fault as were all the attendant staff at Nuffield hospital Cheltenham.

The operation went well, I am nearly back to my former mobility, he was professional and explained everything that would happen. I have no criticism at all.
