A real expert in his field. He has performed surgery on both my knees - two total knee replacements. I feel very lucky to be under his care.

From my first consultation with Mr Rajaratnam I absolutely knew that I was in the BEST hands. Mr Rajaratnam listened to me and, whilst I took my time to decide to go ahead with my knee replacement surgery, I would never have considered having anyone else do it. His whole team is so caring and I truly believe that their are combined skills are the best there are.

I feel very fortunate to have seen Sam, he was extremely professional and caring. I needed a total knee replacement and the whole process was seamless, the surgery was very straightforward and I was up and walking within a few hours. Sam recommended a Physiotherapist close to my home to save too much travelling. Within four weeks I discarded my crutches and was walking 1/2 mile a day.
I must also praise Sam’s anaesthetist, Barry. I always have severe nausea and sickness after anaesthetic but Barry was able to suggest alternatives which prevented this. I am very grateful.
The whole team were very friendly and professional and I would thoroughly recommend the team and the Horder Centre.

I have complete faith in Sam Rajaratnam on every level. He and his team did a fantastic job allaying my concerns and making the whole experience as pain free and comfortable as possible.
I could not recommend him more highly..
