Mr Yegappan Kalairajah

Written by a NHS patient at Spire Harpenden Hospital

Mr. Kalairajah replaced the joint in one of my knees and will be replacing the other one later this year. He explained fully what he intended to do and backed it up with a booklet and access to his website. He was very friendly and polite and was happy to answer any questions that I had. I can't remember seeing Mr. Kalairajah without a smile on his face! A gentle and confidence-inspiring man. The procedure went smoothly and the follow-up treatment was excellent. I am (almost) looking forward to the second replacement!

Mr Kalairajah provided an excellent service from start to finish. He fully explained about the operation and after the procedure he visited me to check on my progress. The operation was a total right knee replacement which was carried out successfully and I am no longer in pain and have better mobility. I have no complaints with no aspect of my care and would fully recommend him to anyone.

Mr Kalairajah recently fitted a new hip for me and from my first consultation a year or so ago, he was completely open and frank about my condition and the treatment and recovery involved. He encouraged me to keep going for as long as I possibly could without surgery, which was a surprise to me, and this was on the basis that given my age (64), there is a likelihood that I may need a replacement in some years down the line. When it came to the time for surgery, the whole process was very smooth with the pre-op assessment deciding with me that a general anaesthetic was not required which accelerated the recovery time greatly. So much so that a little later on the same day, I was able to stand and walk around. Two months later I am virtually completely mobile without any pain or discomfort. The post-op physio support has also been first-class. I am extremely pleased with my new hip and the care and attention exercised by Mr Kalairajah and his team in making the whole process work so well. Thank you.
