Mr Parag Jaiswal 2018-06-14 Person 5 5 0

I have been a patient of Guys Hospital since around age 25, I am now 54. I have had four hip replacements in total and a left knee, plus various steroid interventions for my back. Mr Jaiswal became my surgeon last year following the departure of Mr Nunn. I was admitted as an emergency having fallen and broken a hip prosthesis right across the top. I was cautious about this surgery, the surgical team were clearly very motivated to take on this unusual and exciting procedure and had to acquire specific equipment in order to be able to do it. They had several plans in place on how to approach it. Mr Jaiswal is the most approachable and caring surgeon I have ever had. He listens to your worries and actually adapts his approach to take into consideration your concerns. I had lived with one leg longer than the other for the past decade following my last hip surgery which was playing havoc with my back and feet. When Mr Jaiswal told me that he would have to make my 'new' leg slightly longer than the other to prevent dislocation, I told him that he absolutely had to avoid this at all costs, as this leg was already the longer one. Not only did Mr Jaiswal manage to adhere to my wishes, I was up and walking bearing full weight through my new hip the following morning. The surgery and care were not without complication, but you seriously could not be in better or more responsible hands than those of this rising orthopaedic star.
