In such safe hands with Mr Mahmud. From the first consultation Mr Mahmud explained the knee injury that I’d suffered and why surgery was essential. He came to see me prior to surgery and I was totally reassured that he was going to repair the injury and do his best for me to recover to previous activities. I was only in surgery for a short time even though my meniscus tear was considered complex. I had a follow up six weeks later and he was so reassuring with the progress I’d made. I fully recommend him for all knee injuries.

I needed partial rather than total joint replacements in both my knees. The first orthopaedic surgeon I saw rarely performs partial ops but referred me to Mr Mahmud as a particularly experienced practitioner in this type of surgery. Mr Mahmud performed both of my operations and I have been delighted with the results. He is a true professional, explains everything clearly, and is friendly and approachable. I know two other people who have had total knee replacements performed by Mr Mahmud and they have been equally pleased with their experiences. I have no hesitation recommending him as an excellent knee surgeon.
