Mr Zameer Shah

Written by a patient at Guy's Hospital

Couldn’t be better! I first saw Mr Shah in April 2013 after referral from physiotherapy for knee pain. He was very pleasant and friendly, explained very clearly and succinctly what the problem was, the treatment options, the advantages and disadvantages of the various alternatives and helped me reach a decision about treatment. There was no rush; I had plenty of time to ask questions and they were answered in a way that helped me understand what the operation entailed and the expected results. I was able to choose my operation date to fit in with my work pattern and had my first total knee replacement in June 2013 with an excellent outcome. The procedure was explained clearly and I felt that I knew exactly what to expect. The operation went very well, with excellent results. I was quickly back on my feet and I am now able to walk, cycle, swim and can lead an active life again. Before the operation I had one short leg following an old motorcycle accident. As a bonus, that was sorted out when the knee was replaced. A fantastic result! It is now May 2014 and I am now ready to have the other knee replaced. I saw Mr Shah a few days ago. He remembered my case, explained plainly what would be done, answered my questions clearly and was reassuring. I have total confidence in another excellent outcome. I strongly recommend Mr Shah if you are to have this surgery.

Mr. Shah did a great job replacing my hip and even left me with a neat scar! Should ever I need the other hip replacing I would be more than happy for Mr. Shah to do it!

As I reported on 2 January, on 1 February I returned to have my left knee given a partial replacement following the same operation to my left three months earlier. Once again, Mr Shah and his team performed the operation with efficiently and skill. Although the damage done by the arthritis was greater this time - requiring a bigger replacement and longer scar – in two weeks the swelling had gone; in three, I could manage without a walking aid and in four was walking well. Indeeed, I am enjoying walking about for the first time in years. A few weeks’ physiotherapy and I will be back to normal - that is, before the arthritis appeared. The whole experience was impressive; the preliminary pre-operative tests were carried out efficiently; and the post-operative period was effective and even enjoyable thanks to the nurses and physiotherapists of Queen Ward. I cannot thank or recommend the competent and abilities of Mr Shah and Guys Hospital enough.

I had a torn meniscus in my right knee fixed just before Christmas and couldn't be more pleased with how things went. At the initial consultation Mr. Shah talked me through the results of the X-ray and MRI scan and explained quite clearly the options open to me and the pros and cons of each. The procedure itself was fine and I was even able to choose the date on which it was done. Recovery exceeded my expectations - I experienced almost no pain, was running within 3weeks of the op and climbed a 7500 ft mountain after 7 weeks. Follow up was at 6 weeks post op and was courteous and informative. Would be more than happy to be treated by Mr. Shah in the future.

In 2012 my left hip joint deteriorated badly and I was referred to Mr. Zameer Shah. I saw Mr. Shah in September and was extremely impressed by his explanation of the operation and his patience in clearly answering my questions. It was agreed that a hip replacement was necessary. At that time my elderly mother was dying and I explained that while she was alive I could not have the surgery as I would not be able to visit her for some weeks. Mr. Shah agreed to see me again six months later. My mother died at the end of October and when I rang the hospital Mr. Shah kindly agreed to put me back on his waiting list, and I had the operation just before Christmas. I can not thank Mr. Shah and his team enough for the wonderful care I received. My hip has recovered so well, with a beautifully neat scar, and it is wonderful to be pain-free and growing stronger every day. I recommend Mr. Zameer Shah 100%.
