Mr Zameer Shah

Written by a patient at Guy's Hospital

After suffering severe pain to my right knee for over two and a half years, pain killers & the "knee pathway" I'd had enough and asked for referral to Guy's & St Thomas' hospital and an appointment was made with Mr Shah. What a great appointment, I was X rayed that same afternoon, knees and hips and within an hour or so back in consultation with Mr Shah who confirmed with the aid of X rays that I had quite a degenerative arthritic right hip. After further CT and MRI scans to identify the exact state of my hips and lower back and another appointment with Mr Shah it was agreed that I have a Right Total Hip replacement which he explained fully by use of the the X rays etc and examples of the prothesis. On operation day the whole process from arrival through anaesthetist / operation / recovery was excellent. then transferred to "Queens' Ward" where the care by nurses and physiotherapists was exemplary, everyone very caring, understanding and helpful. Post op 6 weeks I was walking 3-4 miles with no pain and using a stick for reassurance only. Absolutely fantastic. Thank you Mr Shah and everyone at Guy's & St Thomas' who saw me through.

I fractured my hip and was walking without sticks or pain within 5 weeks. What more could one ask for?

Mr Shah was attentive, reassuring and provided excellent advice and care. The total knee replacement surgery has been successful and Mr Shah has provided excellent care throughout the process. He combines informed reasoning with caring suggestions. I cannot recommend him highly enough. I am currently 7 weeks post operative and am thrilled with the outcome.

I am a 52 year old male who has suffered from arthritis all my adult life. I’ve been through extreme pain, self-pity, depression, felt life was not worth living, you name it! I am blessed with a lovely caring wife and three girls who have all cared for me, comforted me, understood me and are the very reason for living. They may not believe this though! I got a referral to Mr Shah’s clinic at Guys Hospital in London. Mr Shah sent me for an X-Ray examination and saw me almost immediately after. He concluded that both my hips needed surgery, clearly explained the options available. I opted for a long-term solution for a total bilateral surgery. My surgery was delayed due to my low iron levels. In addition pre-op examination brought to light a positive diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (an asleep disorder) which needed treatment prior to surgery. 21 Months down the line, both my hips are replaced. I placed my total trust in Mr Shah and am amply rewarded with a renewed vigour for life and am at last enjoying my life which most take for granted. There are no adjectives to describe Mr Shah, in a nutshell he is a gifted impeccable surgeon and above that a very decent human. I am truly privileged to meet this wonderfully calm human being. One anecdote to share with all (including Mr Shah!) I was testing his patience and calm demeanour during a consultation post second surgery. I impudently enquired who had done my final stitches fully knowing it was Mr Shah, he wanted to know the reason of my request, and I replied that the stitches were untidy. He calmly responded that it was him without agitation! That summarises him as a fantastic person. I would recommend this fantastic surgeon to anyone needing surgery and would always gladly and willing put my trust in him in any aspect of orthopaedic surgery.
