Mr. Punwar operated on my ACL which gave me my active life back. One of the nicest people I’ve met. Even after surgery I contacted him direct and he was so prompt with his reply. Couldn’t recommend him enough! Thank you Mr. Punwar.

Mr Punwar provided a partial knee replacement. He took over my diagnosis and discussed alternative to the original plan. He explained the pros and cons of each without any pressure.
The whole process was exemplary. The surgical admission was like a well oiled machine. I woke from the operation feeling very comfortable. Pain relief was spot on. Within 48 hours, I was showering independently. Within 4 days, I was moving around the house without walking aids. 10 days later, I was walking outside - cautiously but with confidence. Of course, there is a fair amount of work to do to regain the flexibility and strength but it is such a joy to get out of a chair without the anticipation of feeling of pain. I now walk for sheer enjoyment as well as to get around.
People think knee pain is just ... knee pain. However, it is many ramifications. Your exercise rate reduces. You start to take opportunities to sit rather than stand, to get the bus rather than walk. Reduced mobility impacted my ambitions and fitness, my sense of capability and available energy. It made me feel older than I actually am.
This new partial knee is like having a new lease of life. I am looking forward to years of walking and cycling ahead of me.
Mr Punwar's obvious surgical skill is matched with an excellent interpersonal manner. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

I had fallen badly and broken my hip with attendant trauma. Mr Punwar quickly sorted out the solution and his surgical work has done the trick. 6 Weeks on now and I am walking with little crutch support. He kept me informed at all stages of the work.
I am most grateful for his care and attention the.

Great to hear you recovered so well from your broken hip. We have a great hip fracture team at Torbay and I am really keen that surgery is timely and well executed. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

I found, on each occasion I saw him that Mr Punwar was consistantly, very professional and at the same time approachable and informative. He explained in a manner that was clear and concise, ensuring that I understood and encouraging me to ask if there was anything I wanted to know or explained further. He discussed the X-ray pictures in detail from the screen and explained the surgery he was to carry out. I felt completely confident and reassured. I am absolutely delighted with the outcome of my surgery and that I am able to return to work without the incessant pain I'd experienced.

Thank you for the kind feedback. Great that you were able to get back to work so quickly following surgery. Horrible to be in pain every day. I'm glad that the operation was able to reduce your pain and increase function, exactly as it is supposed to do. Getting it right first time is the key.
