Mr Rishi Chana

Written by a patient at Schoen Clinic London

I selected Mr Chana in the hope that my groin/hip pain would be manageable (or improved) without surgery - with a significant phobia of medical facilities. Very quickly he diagnosed significant arthritis (bone on bone) in my left hip which was confirmed within minutes with an x-ray and needed a full hip replacement. Mr Chana was great in reassuring me that although he understood my fears that the surgery these days was very quick with minor disruption to muscles/ nerves etc and that the recovery would be quick and relatively pain free. There was no pressure to have the surgery but once the decision was made I was admitted within 2 weeks. Mr Chana guided me through the process with his great office team as Covid restrictions made things a bit trickier than normal. The Schoen facility and staff were great and combined well with Mr Chana to explain at each stage what was going to happen and field my many questions that put me at ease that I was in good hands. I was out of bed 5 hours after surgery and home within 72 hours. Apart from some discomfort and swelling I can honestly say there was very little pain and managed on Ibuprofen from the time I left hospital. I started physio 2 weeks after discharge and was amazed that everyone I met had similar experiences of being up and about and quickly independent, all much older than me. I came off the crutches at about 4 weeks and at 8 weeks had full mobility back with no discomfort and even forget I've had the surgery sometimes, am now back in the gym on the exercise bike and swimming (no breaststroke I promise Mr Chana!) looking forward to further improvements over the coming months.

All my interaction with Mr Chana has been fantastic, he was quick to send me for tests and diagnose my condition. He was always available for questions and supported me throughout the consultation, surgery and beyond. I'm delighted that 5 months post surgery i am relatively pain free and able to walk for consistently longer stretches on a weekly basis. Thank you Mr Chana, I would highly recommend

I was referred to see Mr Rishi Chana in January 2020. From the very beginning of the consultation both myself and my husband found Mr Chana to be very professional, extremely knowledgeable and easily approachable. He explained fully my condition and what would be involved in a total hip replacement operation. Mr Chana provided me with lots of written information on the whole process which I found very helpful. I had the procedure on 29 February 2020 and on the morning of my admission Mr Chana spent time with both myself and my husband explaining the procedure in full which further assured us. Mr Chana then visited me frequently during the time I was in hospital and kept a close eye on my recovery. I have since had 2 follow up consultations during the last 8 weeks after my operation. Mr Chana is very pleased with my recovery and has been extremely supportive through the whole process. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Chana for all his support before, during and after my surgery. He has made it possible for me to have a normal pain free life and I will always be grateful for this.

From my first consultation with Mr Rishi Chana about problems with my left knee ,both my husband and I came away saying we felt confident and well informed about my pending operation for a total knee replacement to be preformed by him.On the day of my operation Mr Chana spoke with me beforehand explaining all that would happen which put me at ease. The attention given by him to my aftercare was excellent. When nine months after my first operation I found myself needing a half knee replacement on my right knee I had no problem knowing who I would want to carry out this second operation. Once again the care I received from Mr Chana was excellent and here I am eight weeks after my second operation feeling that I’ve got my life back as I’m able to swim,go to the gym and am gradually building up the distance I’m able to walk, my aim is to be able to walk five miles by the end of February.
