We recently visited Mr Alpesh Kothari with my son’s foot problem and we were extremely pleased with the care we received. Dr Kothari was professional, knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything clearly. He was very patient and reassuring which helped put both my son and me at ease during the appointment

Dr. Kothari is the calmest and most reassuring consultant i have ever seen. Post having seen a few other consultants for my daughters ankle problem, we reached out to Dr. Kothari for a second opinion about the treatment and surgery recommended. Dr. Kothari was thorough in his diagnosis and provided clear understanding and risk assessment of the surgery he would undertake for my daughter. The surgery went well and was very professionally managed by the nurses at The Manor hospital. I would highly recommend Dr. Kothari for any ankle related issues particularly with children who are involved with intensive sport and have resulting injuries or long term symptoms.

Dr Alpesh Kothari treated my 15 year old for an ingrown toenail approximately 6-weeks ago. My son was treated very well during the procedure and his toe has healed so quickly without any further issues.

Very pleasant man. Took time to explain things to my 16 year old son. Walked us through the tests he was taking and results. Very professional. Would see him again if needed.

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.

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.

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.
