Mr Paul Trikha 2019-06-10 Person 5 5 0

Mr Paul Trikha operated on my right knee, total replacement, on the 21st May 2019 at the Nuffield Hospital Woking. I am now almost three weeks post op and saw Paul on Friday when he was thrilled, as was I, with my recovery and estimated that I was walking as though six weeks post op. Paul is charming, takes the time to explain the procedures and gives you a full understanding of the pros and cons of major surgery. Having had a meniscus tear two years earlier and never fully recovered, I opted for a full replacement knee as my mobility and quality of life was seriously impaired. On Friday the smiles on all our faces reflected the success of this operation and personally I don't know who was more pleased my Surgeon, my youngest daughter or myself!! However, to any other patient contemplating a total knee replacement under Mr Trikha, may I please emphasise that you have to put in the work in order to achieve the success. As superb as the work that Mr Trikha does, you will not achieve his highest success rate if, as the patient, you don't do exactly as he and his team advise. Push through the barriers that you encounter and take all the advice and reassurances that are given. Paul will pre and post op give you all his time and attention, will answer any questions and reassure you as much as is humanly possible. However, on operation day, don't be put off by his "serious face" - he's in the zone of operating and personally I would rather that than someone jocular prior to commencing major surgery!!! Your knee and your life are in his hands. I would more than recommend this wonderful Surgeon to anyone suffering severe knee pain whose quality of life is limited and who would like to once again enjoy life to the full. Thank you Paul for your kindness, professionalism, care and reassurance.
