Mr Karlakki was the ultimate professional. He explained everything so clearly and I felt no question was too small for him to answer. He cares deeply for the outcome of his work to be the very best for his patients and provides the best treatment. The staff greatly respect him and work with him to ensure success. I would highly recommend Mr. Karlakki and his team. They are superb.

I have had 4 procedures with this surgeon, one of which was particularly tricky, all of which have had very satisfactory outcomes. The advantage of consultations with the surgeons at this hospital is that their notes are dictated in the presence of the patient. This means that the actual content of the eventual letter received by the patient is known. Interruptions for interrogation of specific medical terms, treatments, questions about adverse outcomes etc. can therefore be made during this time. This is something I learnt through time. When questioned, I was always given satisfactory responses. The patient has to learn to be pro-active in the procedure that is going to be performed on their body. If patients are going away a bit confused about something it may well be that the right questions have not been asked. On the flip side, the surgeon should maybe ascertain that the patient has understood everything before departure.

Total Hip Replacement on 27th February. Now October - hip is better than it has been for years prior to the replacement. Mr. Karlakki does not waste time on small talk! He is brilliant at replacing hips. If you are lucky enough to be on his list you will get, in my opinion, the best possible outcome.

I have had hip replacement surgery, but actually I have had my life back. I can walk without a limp and be of use to my family again. I have energetic grandchildren and I really missed out by not being able to keep up on outings, I was becoming quite down about my situation. I am very thankful for the expertise, experience and sheer ability of this outstanding surgeon. Living with pain and taking pain relief tablets which have quite nasty side effects are a thing of the past for me now. It's also so nice to sleep through the night. If I ever need joint surgery again it would be my wish to be blessed by being lucky enough to be on Mr Karlakki,s list.

Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital Dismissed from the first appointment. Carried out a diagnostic injection, then said as the pain was less ( 2 weeks after ) problem solved dont need an operation to fix bilaterial impingement however he was happy to inject my other hip. Not quite sure why as it was a diagnostic injection to help decide if my pain was in the joint or not. If he wasnt prepared to operate then why carry on diagnosing. Always grinning and difficult to understand what hes driving at as he contradicts himself. Even my wife was left confused I thought it was just me being abit dim. There are a lot of good reviews for him a lot however maybe his issue is my gender dysphoria. Less than 30 years old and I cant do day to day activities and he has refused to help.
