I was seen by Mr Chana in October of this year. Consultation confirmed that I would benefit from total replacement of the right hip. At the initial consultation I had an X-ray taken and this was used immediately to illustrate my hip problem, and provide evidence for possible remedial intervention. Alternatives were discussed and all relevant information provided. The meeting was a genuine discussion where my questions were invited and answered clearly and openly; at no time did I feel that my own fears and doubts were underestimated especially as Mr Chana appeared to value my husband's presence and invited his contributions to the discussion as well as my own. Pre-operative assessment appointments followed swiftly allowing surgery to be performed within a short space of time. Mr Chana and the anaesthetist both visited me prior to surgery on the day of the operation. Both were remarkably reassuring and any fears I may have had regarding my surgery were easily dispelled. Following hip replacement Mr Chana took the time to call my husband to let him know that I was safely in the Recovery Unit and that surgery had been wholly successful. During my post-operative period I felt thoroughly reassured that all precautions were taken to ensure my safe and pain-free recovery. During my short stay in hospital I was visited by Mr Chana and by the anaesthetist who together, provided professional and empathic care. Immediately following discharge Mr Chana spoke to me on the 'phone and I was given a further consultation where my incision site was assessed. It was particularly reassuring to know that I had been invited to contact Mr Chana at any time should I have any subsequent questions or doubts. However, this opportunity was not required as my post-operative progress was very smooth and rapid. I have no reservations when I recommend Mr Chana and the care he provides; the results of his surgical skills have resulted in my improved mobility and pain relief in a relatively short period of time.
