Mr Dinesh Alexander is professional and gives excellent care to all of his patients. He takes time to talk to you and explain the full care plan to help ease joint pain in a hip or knee. Patients feel safe in his care and get on their feet with no pain. The main themes in the feedback are hip replacement, knee replacement, and knee surgery.
Mr Alexander & his associate Mr Iqbal were both incredibly professional, clear in their explanations & had a fantastic bedside manner, putting me at complete ease throughout the process
Excellent service, polite, went through everything thoroughly and explained well much appreciated for everything from start to finish
I am 79 years old and had a total knee replacement and everything went great. I left hospital the day after the operation and was a little concerned about the potential pain and inconvenience. It could have not been any better. I had no pain and was told by the physiotherapist that i was moving my knee a lot more than most people. All of this was down to my surgeon Mr Dinesh Alexander. It was my brother's funeral the day after the operation and everyone worked hard to discharge me by 10am I would highly recommend Mr Alexander and all the staff at Beardwood Hospial in Blackburn
Mr Alexander is very easy to talk to and puts you at your ease .He explains everything that will happen. Even in the theatre. I have a great admiration for him. I came today walking without crutches and without pain after hav8ng my operation for a hip replacement
Absolutely fantastic service from start to finish. Can't wait to have my next knee done. Just having one knee done i feel 80% better. Thanks to my consultant and all his staff. Thanks so very much 😊
Mr Alexander ecently performed my hip surgery. Very pleased with outcome. Well cared for by the team. Happy to feel so much better
Had a partial knee replacement 6 weeks ago. Me Alexander and all the staff at beardwood hospital were excellent. My knee is making very good progress and I am optimistic about enjoying hill walking once again. Many thanks.
Mr Dinesh Alexander carried out a partial knee replacement for me after I'd been suffering osteoarthritis for some time. He has a professional and friendly manner and was happy to answer any questions I had. The whole process was relatively stress free and he even contacted my husband after my surgery to let him know I was ok, which was very much appreciated.
Seen before appointment time. All professionals were pleasant. Relevant information given. Treated with dignity and respect. Thank you so much for the excellent care through my treatment
Mr Dinesh Alexander explained everything very well. He was very professional from start of my journey with my hip! Would definitely recommend him to anyone who is in need of treatment to hip.
