Mr Rohit Gupta, BSc(Hons) MBBS(Lond) FRCS(Eng) FRCS(Tr&Orth)

Written by a patient at Ashford Hospital

In the 1970's I had a serious rugby accident resulting in a number of operations that left me with restricted movement of my shoulder and pain if I over exercised it. By 2014 I had constant pain and could only sleep by taking strong pain killers. I was referred to a local shoulder orthopaedic consultant to review what treatment, if any was possible. Following an X-Ray, MRI and arthroscopy, it was discovered I had acute arthritis of the humours head and lack of specific muscle groups. It was decided that my complex case should be referred to a board of shoulder consultants to discuss the best course of treatment. The result was that out of around 12 consultants only Mr Gupta was prepared to review my case with the possibility of surgery to address the pain rather than living with strong painkillers for the rest of my life. On meeting Mr Gupta I was immediatly impressed with his positivity and honesty. I had further Hi Res. X-rays and MRI's and a number of consultations to understand what options were available and how we would approach them together. While reviewing the issues and options available from a surgical and physical perspective, Mr Gupta was also accessing my phycological state and my approach to not only the operation, but how I would cope with the long rehabilitation journey. We agreed together that the surgery was the best option and that I would cope with the physical and mental road to recovery. The operation was a risky complex procedure that was outlined by Mr Gupta, he then went onto explain each stage and the risks involved, but also giving me the confidence that from a surgical perspective he could deliver the results required. It would then be up to me to fully support and embrace the rehabilitation process to provide the real results the surgery could provide. I was so committed to MR Gupta and his skills in completing the surgery successfully, that I retired early from my work so I could commit on a full time basis to the physiotherapy and rehabilitation. The surgery was a Zimmer cement less shoulder replacement, that was the easy bit according to Mr Gupta, followed by a reconstruction of the Rotator Cuff, other muscle groups and debriding of tendons/ligaments. Two years later and my rehabilitation is complete, I have more movement in my shoulder than I have had in 40 years and more importantly there is no pain. Mr Gupta has given me back my life and will be eternally grateful for not only his commitment and leading edge surgical skills, but the way he treats you as a person and not just a patient. After two years of consultations, I feel that he has become a friend rather than my consultant. I am now back cycling, skiing and in the Gym twice a week, although I am not sure he would approve of the skiing and cycling! I do remember his parting words on my last consultation. "I have given you a Ferrari and not a Land Rover, so please treat it like one! I have nothing but praise for this outstanding surgeon. Thank you

I had a badly broken elbow and the surgery carried out by Mr Gupta was excellent as was the aftercare follow up meetings. 18 months after this surgery the scar is barely visible and I haven't had any problems with it at all. My aim was to get back to golf and this I have done. Mr Gupta is a most pleasant man to deal with and very clearly a top surgeon. I would (and have) recommend him to anyone. Stephen Bamford

Mr. Rohit Gupta performed a very successful decompression of right Carpal Tunnel several years ago. He was courteous, professional and carefully expained the procdure to me so that I could understand what was happening. More recently, I was suffering from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in my left wrist, which I had left for too long. Mr. Gupta expained, very carefully, the possible outcome both good and not so good! The decompression was successful, and I no longer suffer with the very uncomfortable symptoms. In the latter part of 2016, I suffered pain and discomfort in my left wrist, probably due to a fracture earlier in the year, arthritis and general wear and tear. Mr. Rohit Gupta suggested an MRI scan of my left wrist and the result showed "a lot going on" in my left wrist. He advised ultrasound guided cortisone injections at strategic points on my left wrist. The result was very successful, and I am able to use my left had normally, without pain. I woul certainly recommend Mr. Rohit Gupta to any family member or friend. He is compassionate and sincere, and brilliant at his job. I am at a loss to find the correct words to describe Mr. Gupta.He is amazing.

I am in no position to suggest that this great man could in any way improve any aspect, my experience was actually life changing. I started the process with a shoulder joint causing me problems in every day life impacting on my quality of life in so many ways. Pain was ever present so the rare moments I had no pain were more memorable, usually after a few glasses of wine but that was masking the problem! I eventually had an implant on the humeral head. I foolishly watched a youtube video of the procedure! this caused many a sleepless night leading up to the procedure due to the complexity of the operation and the impact it would have on my everyday life. When I woke from the operation in the comfort of my room full of anesthetic and learned that everything had gone to plan was relieved as you would expect. Then the nerve block wears off and boom the pain kicks in. Thankfully well managed pain control and advice from the hospital i'm on the way home clutching on to a bag of pills. The scar healed, then I was moving it, physio started and The journey to normal life was underway. 6 months in and it seems like such a long time ago. I'm pain free in the joint, riding my Harley and getting on with it. A big thank you to Nuffield and Mr Gupta who I owe my freedom to.
