Mr Samuel Rajaratnam

Mr Rajaratnam, is friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable in his field. Would highly recommend.

The temperature on July 30th was high and made for a very stressful journey to the Cleveland Clinic in Grosvenor Place. There had been a direct admission of a patient from Clinic to Hospital prior to my allocated time which made for a longer wait than expected a whole hour in fact. But when I saw Mr. Rajaratnam I was not hurried at all and I felt I had a very thorough Consultation. He is a very experienced knee specialist and I feel sure that if I go through with more replacement knee surgery then I am confident that in the hands of this Surgeon I will be safe.

He was clear, friendly and helpful.

A review and consultation on a knee injury sustained in 1979 as well as the affect (caused by a change in gait) on the other knee..

An excellent surgeon. Really knows his field. Pain management and recovery were excellent. Liked the holistic approach and the fact that the team have worked together a long time making the experience seamless.

I am, today, ten weeks post L total L knee replacement. I am recovering very well and I’m delighted that when I was looking for a surgeon to perform my operation that I discovered Sam. Sam is very experienced and has excellent results. He also uses the latest evidence based techniques and equipment. When I met him in his clinic to review my X-rays and MRI scan he was extremely patient and reassuring; giving detailed explanation as to the options and answering my questions. He informed me that he could perform the operation in May and I was booked in. The team perform all necessary blood tests for the pre-op assessment at that consultation which means you don’t have to travel to London again until the operation. The other reason that I chose Sam was because of his team based approach. This really became evident from the beginning as he introduced me to an excellent physio in my local area (Lucy Rix) who has worked with Sam before. She saw me for pre-op physio and post op (initially at home, then in her clinic). His team in hospital consists of Drs Barry Phillips (anaesthetist) and Ari Johar (medical consultant). They ensure the most fantastic up to date management of pain, nausea, sleep etc so that I had well controlled pain post op. Nursing care is overseen by nurses Christine. Andrea and Magdalena. In hospital. They also provide support post discharge by ‘phone which is so helpful following discharge home for any queries or reassurance. I used this support a couple of times which was invaluable. My experience of the actual operation and post op care in hospital ...

I’ve had previous knee replacement with Mr Rajaratnam, complete confidence in him and his team, returning for the other knee.

He was very easy to talk to and gave excellent advice and happy to answer all our questions.

A jolly man who certainly knew his job. I had waited so long that I was somewhat stunned by the time I saw him. I got what I assume was very good advice

I was explained everything in great detail and was able to book my operation and have my swabs and bloods taken that day to save me coming back . The staff who took my ECG and bloods were fantastic and all was very well organized.
