AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Patients find Mr Sanjeev Lakshaman Chitnis professional in all his work. He gives clear pre op and post op care to all who see him. Patients feel at ease with him and get good rest after surgery. The key theme in his care is carpal tunnel syndrome.
Mr Chitnis is very caring and encouraging and has given some good advice. His focus on my weight, while understandable with my current problem is not helpful and his advice somewhat concerning. He was delighted to hear that I have sought advice and I follow a healthy diet and exercise plan. I attend the gym and work within a calorie deficit. I was concerned when he asked if I had spoken to my GP regarding GLP1 medication. I do not have an appetite problem but more worrying I have osteoporosis and with my current injury the fact that these drugs target muscle would have a detrimental effect on my recovery. He did in the end agree with me and begin to understand the benefits of the route I am taking in a slow weight loss in order to maintain my overall health and wellbeing.
Mr Chitnis is the consummate practitioner, from the initial meeting, to the surgery then aftercare , the service provided is second to none.
I was in for mr chitnis to explore my knee to find the cause of my permit pain issues I have to say I never expect the results I got as it was like day and night I gave it to day 3 and I had no pain what so ever Mr Chitnis from my 1st consultation was very thorough and explained everything to me in a way I could understand My after care was amazing and I felt at ease
I am very happy with Dr. Chitnis' examination of my injury and their recommendations are very useful for recovery. Super helpful and kind responses. Thank you very much
Had no issues post surgery. Very professional and made feel at ease pre surgery and very specific post surgery with best advice to get back to normal asap
Mr.Chintis signed everything to me after a thorough examstion.His manner was exemplary.
Mr Chitnes has been helping me for the past 3 years with issues to both knees. My most recent visit was a checkup after receiving injections to the left knee. Mr Chitnes was very clear on what my next steps should be
Good visit knee seems a lot better hope I don’t need to go back too soon I’m
Im lucky enough to have the benefit of choosing a specialist when i require diagnosis and treatment, and I would 100% use Mr Chitnis again.
