Great experience all round - from booking to the appointment and follow-up. Talked to my son directly and asked good questions to get the right information out of him. Very happy we chose Alpesh.

Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased you and your son had such a positive experience with Mr Kothari
I recently had an initial consultation with Mr. Alpesh Kothari for my one-year-old, and I cannot speak highly enough of the care and guidance we received. Seeking specialist advice for a little one can be incredibly daunting, but Mr. Kothari’s calm, gentle approach put my baby at ease immediately and made the entire visit completely stress-free. He took the time to listen attentively to all of our concerns without ever making us feel rushed, breaking down the options in clear, reassuring terms and providing practical, sensible advice for moving forward. His combination of top-tier expertise, genuine warmth, and empathetic care gave us total peace of mind, and I would recommend him without hesitation to any parent seeking expert advice for their child.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We are delighted that Mr Kothari’s calm and caring approach helped make the consultation a reassuring and stress-free experience for you and your little one. Your kind recommendation is very much appreciated, and we wish your family all the very best.
My son had an ankle injury. I was concerned that it may be fractured but always good. We are happy now with the advice that was given and looking forward to a good recovery.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I am pleased that the advice provided helped to reassure you. Wishing your son a smooth and speedy recovery.
We cannot thank Dr Kothari enough for everything he has done for our daughter, Rosa, throughout her DDH journey. From the very beginning, he took the time to explain her diagnosis clearly and thoroughly, making sure we understood every step of the treatment plan. His knowledge, professionalism, and calm approach gave us complete confidence in the decisions being made. Dr Kothari also performed Rosa's surgery, and throughout the entire process we always felt reassured that she was in the very best hands. He answered our questions with patience, kept us informed, and genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for our daughter. Thanks to Dr Kothari's expertise and care, Rosa has been given the opportunity to walk and enjoy the childhood every parent hopes for their child. The impact he has had on her life, and on our family, is immeasurable. We are incredibly grateful for his dedication, skill, and compassion, and would wholeheartedly recommend him to any family going through a DDH diagnosis. Thank you, Dr Kothari, for changing our daughter's life.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a heartfelt review. It is wonderful to hear how supported and reassured your family felt throughout Rosa’s care, and how much Mr Kothari’s expertise, compassion and dedication have meant to you all. I am delighted to hear that Rosa is doing so well and wish her and your family every happiness for the future.

Discussed my daughter’s leg misalignment and Dr Kothari was excellent in terms of reviewing Maya’s history and not just explaining go forward options, but also showing us using recent scans. Excellent experience.
