I saw Mr Tai about knee surgery recently and he was informative in giving me all my options and hopeful about improving my circumstances. I had surgery early November at Pinehill in Hitchin and could not fault his or the hospitals care and I am very pleased with the outcome in being able to walk without pain and gain full mobility.
He was also tentative at my post surgical visit explaining everything he had done and why, plus backing things up with before and after photographs which gave me a better understanding of the procedure.
It may not be a life long solution but I am very happy I chose the surgical route and lucky to of been added to Mr Tai's list.

I had her right hip replaced by Mr Tai. I was a little nervous (I have Parkinson's disease) as the surgeon who did my left hip replacement a year ago (Mr Chatoo) was now only doing knees.
Mt Tai put me at ease very early on during the first consultation. The actual operation went very well and Mr Tai signed me off 5 weeks later.
He comes well recommended
