Mr Unnithan replaced my right hip in November at Ashford Hospital. The operation and the care given by the staff at Ashford was first rate and as a result, my recovery has been faster than I'd expected. The only problem has been an injury to my right foot and ankle sustained somehow during my time in hospital, which may now limit the pace of my recovery. Mr Unnithan has provided kind and clear support and advice on how to approach rehabilitation physio and a return to sport.

I found every member of staff very friendly and welcoming (Runnymede Hosp in Chertsey). Also found Mr A Unnithan easy to talk to and I appreciated his full and straightforward explanation about the pros and cons of having a total hip replacement and answered all my questions/concerns in a very professional manner. I feel confident that I am in good hands, when I have my right hip Replaced by Mr Unnithan.

The consultant surgeon was extremely clear and dedicated to his area of expertise. My only criticisms of my experience would not lie with him but to the time in the hospital on the ward and follow up package.
