AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Mr Rajiv Sanger offers clear explanations to patients. Many report excellent results from hip replacement and total knee replacement surgery. Patients experience pain relief and improved movement, feeling at ease with his professional, supportive approach. Mr Sanger's practice involves knee and hip surgical interventions.
I found the consultant extremely helpful and approachable. They gave me a clear, concise explanation of the partial knee replacement procedure and took the time to answer my questions, which helped me feel much more informed and reassured before my surgery. I really appreciated their professionalism and the way everything was explained in a straightforward and easy-to-understand manner.
My last visit was a review of my recovery to date following my hip replacement in July. Mr Sanger was excellent, gave good sensible advance on how to continue my recovery and lifestyle changes to ensure a full recovery as anticipated.
Mr Sanger was very friendly and professional answered my questions quickly.
Mr Sanger has an excellent bedside manner and very easy to talk to. I felt I was listened to and the findings of the consultation explained clearly. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
Mr Sanger performed my total knee replacement surgery 8 weeks ago. The care and treatment was fantastic. Mr Sanger explained everything and was extremely kind and professional at all times. The replacement has given me a new lease on life. Yes it was painful but nothing mr Sanger had not prepared me for. My 8 weeks appointment was great and Mr Sanger answered all my concerns and gave a realistic timeline for my continued recovery. I would highly recommend this skilled surgeon to anyone needing a knee replacement.
I attended a 1 year follow up appointment after having a complex knee replacement . Dr Sanger was very professional and pleased with the progress made. Prior to surgery my knee had a severe 25 degree valgus deformity. I can't thank Dr Sanger enough for doing a fantastic job in correcting and realigning my knee. I now have a straight knee and no longer have bone on bone pain when walking. I have been able to return to a more active life not only in daily activities but also in being able to participate in strength classes at the gym. I can definitely say that whilst under Dr Sanger' s care you are in good hands.
