Mr Unnithan has always been a pleasure to meet. He is very thorough and gave very clear explanations for all my queries. He takes ownership of his patients’ health problems and makes every effort to rectify them. I am very grateful for his advice on medical matters apart from my hip replacement.

Mr Unnithan replaced my knee last year, which had a 20° degree deformity, and he worked hard to ensure I can straighten it, which I can - the operation was a great success. I am now putting my trust in him to replace my arthritic hip.
