I have had the pleasure of working with Mr David Selvan and have always found him to be an excellent colleague. He combines outstanding clinical judgement with a calm, approachable manner and is committed to delivering high-quality, patient-centred care. His expertise in knee surgery and sports injuries is well recognised, and he takes the time to ensure that patients fully understand their treatment options. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to both patients and professional colleagues.
