I have had a total knee replacement by Mr Shah having previously had an arthroscopy. I appreciated Mr Shah's honesty about the longevity of the arthroscopy and the likelihood of a knee replacement being necessary in the near future. Thorough examination and scans confirmed that my only true option was the surgery but all options were explained and the decision for surgery was taken. I felt that I was listened to, my concerns addressed especially as I am 64 and active, and the process was outlined in detail. I had complete confidence in Mr Shah. The surgery was as expected and the recovery, although no-one can really describe the discomfort or the tough physio required, has gone to plan. Mr Shah visited 3 times over the bank holiday weekend of the surgery which I found reassuring and his attention was not rushed. I have now been discharged following the 6 week check when Mr Shah assessed my recovery with honesty. I am still very much recovering but the surgery has totally fixed the bone on bone agony that I was suffering. The scar is incredible (my husband thought he must have used a ruler!) I feel very fortunate to have been a patient of Mr Shah's and cannot recommend him highly enough. Being treated at Goring Hall Hospital was a huge bonus also. Thank you.

From the first appointment with Mr Shah, I felt listened to and felt that he had more empathy and understanding than any other doctor I had met in the past 15 years of my complaints. Having now had both hips replaced and put back in the right position, I no longer live in fear of the next flair up, how long would it last?!
Every step of the way under Mr Shah’s care was outstanding. Overriding doctors on pain meds, explaining it would be hell. Honesty is the best policy.
I am incredibly grateful that during the path of my journey, Mr Shah was asked to get involved.
A 36 year old, mum of 2 is overjoyed to have her chance to live life again!
