Mr Zameer Shah

Mr Zameer Shah replaced two of my hips in July 2022. He was courteous and friendly. Before the operation he explained in detail what was involved and the choices open to me. I was very pleased that he was willing to replace both hips in one go. Before the operation I could only hobble short distances with considerable pain. The operation was a complete success and has transformed my life. Recovery was remarkably quick and surprisingly painless. (The only problem was that my stomach was upset by opiates given to me immediately after the operation. I had never had opiates before so this could not have been predicted). The wounds healed quickly with no infections. Within one month I was able to walk without a stick and now I can enjoy walking holidays of 10 miles plus in a day, not to mention many shorter walks in an active life. A great success and I am most grateful to Mr Shah and his team Guys.

After being under the care of Mr George, his recent departure meant that I was passed on to Mr Shah. Right from the off, he was open, friendly, welcoming and with an invaluable trait - a sense of humour. He didn't rely on my notes, the consultation began with Mr Shah asking ME why I was there, listening carefully to the whole story of the past 6 years since my issues began. He also explained, from an old x ray, what has caused a problem I have had for 40 years! Wow! I have total confidence that when my surgery comes, I couldn't be in better hands. How fortunate to have been referred to Guys and to TWO incredible people willing to help me. Thank you Mr Shah, really grateful. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr Shah

I am an over the knee amputee, due to bone cancer, and had warn out my other hip from 40 year's of wearing an artificial limb so I had to find the best surgeon to get me mobile again. Meeting Mr Shah was a delight as he saw clearly my predicament and the importance of having a new stable hip so I could walk again. He was professional, kind and clear, which gave me confidence in his abilities, which have been proven correct, as the day after I was able to stand on the operated leg (my only leg). I'm very grateful to him. The fact that he visited me on the ward, with an x-ray of the new hip. He has subsequently has seen me for a follow up appointment, which has all given me the assurity that I've been in safe hands. Thoroughly recommended. Clare Price

This is my 2nd visit to Mr Shah after he performed a Total Hip Replacement on my right hip 18 months ago. This time my left was suffering from the same symptoms. Again, from start to finish, Mr Shah’s care was exemplary, helped by the fact he was well aware of my pre-existing condition. The surgery went perfectly and now just over 6 weeks post-op I’m well on my way to being pain free for the first time in a long time. Mr Shah is undoubtedly an expert in his field and someone who I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone suffering from a hip related disorder. I only hope that if I need any revisions later in life, Mr Shah is still practicing :)

The empathy Mr Shah showed towards my 85 year old mum was amazing. To try and cut a long story short, my mother was a healthy hill walker but fell on unlit steps in 2018. Broke her hip and had her hip pinned by a different surgeon local to us as this was supposedly the best for her to get back on her feet quicker. 4 years later her pain was unbearable and after someone finally listened she was xrayed and it was found that the screws were protruding into her soft tissue and muscle. We were told she was being discharged and that a hip replacement wouldn't be of any use and to just manage the pain. I researched online as mum didn't want to live anymore. I found Mr Shah, the reviews spoke for themselves. After contacting Mr Shah's secretary, we went from lancashire to London, saw Mr Shah and he put mum straight on the emergency list for a hip replacement. Mum had a new hip in May 2022 and she's been back to London twice now for reviews and back again in May. Mr Shah treats you more like family than a patient. His team are second to none and have given my mum her life back. She still has a way to go but she herself has told Mr Shah that he has saved her life. It was a complicated and long operation as it wasn't just a straightforward hip replacement it was corrective to. We are so so grateful for the compassion that was shown from Mr Shah and his team from his secretary and appointment maker to the catering staff and physios. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mr Shah and we look forward to seeing him again for mums 12 month review. Many thanks from Christine Rigby and family x
