Mr Rajaratnam performed total knee replacement surgery on my left knee in May 2023. I am 74 years old and took the prospect of surgery very seriously. I was so pleased with the treatment and outcome that I was eager for him to do the same again on my right knee in November 2023 - so, both knees in the same year. Sam is an exceptional knee surgeon, and has an exceptional and very caring team: his main nurse, Christine, and his anaesthetist, Barry among others. I could not have asked for better, kinder, more attentive treatment. I would unreservedly recommend Sam to anyone thinking about having knee surgery and wanting absolutely optimal care.

Sam did my first knee and I was very pleased with his and his teams care. The whole team Sam has around him is amazing. Barry Phillips (anaesthetist) in particular is wonderful.
