I was advised an excellent and professional conservative management option but on reflection have decided to go for a isolated long-headed biceps tenotomy in a weeks time
Mr Thakral is a professional, pleasant man. My questions were answered and his advice was given in a to the point professional manner, which I liked. His advice after a pain relief injection was to opt for surgery. X-rays we're shown to me and explained how my procedure would go ahead.
Mr Thakral was very professional, explaining everything to me prior to surgery. He came to see me after surgery and explained everything went well and what he had done. I felt comfortable with Mr Thakral and safe in his hands. Although not fully recovered, I can already feel a difference and much improvement. I would highly recommend Mr Thakral.
Very personable and professional. Extremely pleased with the care and surgical procedure.
Mr Thakral was pleasant and explained the procedure and and what was necessary after the operation.
