My hip replacement journey with Mr Unnithan has been quite incredible. His knowledge put me at ease immediately and he explained everything from my first visit, through to the surgery and all my follow up visits thereafter. Many many thanks Mr Unnithan for this life changing experience. I feel human again, pain free. Thank you!
