Mr Bhaskar Thakur is professional, understanding, and reassuring. He listens to questions and gives clear explanations. Patients report quick recovery and pain relief after operations like spine or arm surgery. Many highlight successful outcomes for disc injuries and back pain.
I was welcomed by both reception teams and Dr Thakur was very helpful and listened to all I had to say stressing that I can return if I needed any further help. All in all a very positive experience.
My experience with Dr Bashkar Thakur was excellent. I have seen many specialists for my spine, but no one has explained things to me as clearly as he did. He took the time to go through my MRI imaging in person, step by step, and helped me understand what was going on and why I was experiencing my symptoms. It was very reassuring to know that everything had been done properly to rule out anything major. We also came up with a clear plan for the best course of action to help manage and minimise the condition. He was professional, understanding, and gave great advice throughout. What I appreciated most was that I did not feel brushed off, unlike with some other doctors and professionals I have seen in the past. I felt listened to and properly taken care of. I would highly recommend Dr Bashkar Thakur and the services they offer.
Lady looked.at both of stiches she said they were healed properly thanks
Dr Thakur was thorough during his appointment in both referring me to carry out further tests and explaining their results. I only have praises for him.
Mr Thakur explored the problem and explained the likley cause. A follow meeting confirmed the issue. Mr Thakur gave reassurance and advice to follow with a follow up if I need it. I'm very pleased do the help and advice recieved. Thank you.
Mr Thakur spent lots of time explaining the full detail of my operation , showing detailed scans and proposed future gamma knife procedures. He fully explained the situation, and reasoning for further treatment. I’m extremely impressed with his results.
Appointment with Mr Thakur was a positive experience. He listened to my recovery progress, offered guidance and agreed a follow up consultation.
I had surgery on spine because I couldn’t feel my feet properly when I walked after surgery I could walk no problem after just a few days
Very pleased with the follow-up care. The phone appointment was helpful, reassuring, and gave me the chance to discuss my recovery and ask questions. I appreciated the surgeon Mr. Thakur taking the time to check on my progress.
Excellent surgeon with great bedside manner
