My new hip is now four months old, I am now for the first time in many years free from pain. Mr Tahir Mahmud was my surgeon, he kept me fully informed and updated me throughout the process from initial consultation through to discharge from his care. If you are in need of a hip replacement then I strongly recommend you request his services. Top job carried out by a top surgeon...….

I had been suffering with a painful knee and was referred to Mr Mahmoud. Hearing I had torn my meniscus and needing surgery I was apprehensive. Mr Mahmoud put me at complete ease explaining everything and now I am pleased to say I am fully fit and back to normal. I can’t thank him enough.

I found Mr Mahmud to be friendly, confidence inspiring, approachable and an extremely talented surgeon. He and his team were simply - brilliant. He explained clearly the options I had, the procedure that he would perform and the follow up experience that I should expect. The outcome for me has been superb.

I had my acl repaired just 7 Months ago and I couldn’t be happier with the result. I play semi professional football and I’m already back training and the knee feels great. Mr mahmud was brilliant with me and I would definitely recommend.

I had a Total Hip Replacement in December 2018. From my first meeting with Mr Mahmud in clinic to my discharge in May 2019 I found him easy to talk to, he listened well and I felt very comfortable and confident to ask questions. He was very caring and I was surprised how many times he visited me during my short stay in hospital. After good physio and exercise/walking I am as good as new or will be when I have had my other hip replaced hopefully by Mr Mahmud, in the not too distant future. Thank you for your professionalism, care and attention.

Following a knee injury I had the good fortune of being sent by my GP to see Mr Mahmud. From our first meeting it was clear that he was a consummate professional. Not only was he immaculately dressed, he spoke clearly in plain English and more importantly listened to me as a patient. He quickly diagnosed my condition and arranged an MRI scan. Once the results were back he explained my condition and suggested options that were best suited to me. In the end I decided to plum for the least intrusive option of an Arthroscopy to tidy up and repair my torn meniscus and review the condition of the arthritis within my knee. Before surgery, he visited and put me at ease explaining clearly what procedure he would be completing. Post surgery I was expecting discomfort and pain, in fact I walk out less than three hours later and only had a paracetamol as a precaution. As a result i now have mo discomfort, my knee doesn't lock or give way. It is now only five weeks since surgery and along with some physio sessions I'm ready to return to work as a firefighter. Thank you Mr Mahmud, a true gent and fantastic surgeon.

Mr. Mahmud performed a total knee replacement for me. The care and treatment I received was first class and I find him very approachable if I need to discuss anything regarding the operation.I would highly recommend him and I would have no worries if I needed anything else doing.

On 24 January 2019, Mr Mahmud and his team operated to replace my right hip. I found Mr Mahmud to be a caring human being, his communication and interpersonal skills were excellent and help engendered a sense of confidence that as a patient, I would be treated with great skill, care and kindness. Thank you so much.

Many years ago I ruptured my cruciate ligament in my right knee. I learned to adapt to my injury until I had a nasty fall which damaged my knee quite badly. The consultant at that time said I was too young to have a replacement knee. I persevered for quite a few years, but it was extremely painful more or less all of the time and the distance I could walk became limited. I had wearing on the inside lower parts of the bone (Tibia), to such an extent, that it bowed to just over 30 degrees which was not only painful and troublesome but also made me feel embarrassed and knocked my confidence. The pain from the knee started to keep me awake at night on a regular basis. Due to the pain and its effects on my well being, the doctor referred me to Mr Mahmud. Mr Mahmud agreed that now is the best time to replace my knee, though he explained it would be a ‘Full Complex Replacement’. This really concerned me and dominated my thoughts as I had never had major surgery like this before. My worries were alleviated as Mr Mahmud and his team were with me every step of the way. From the initial nursing staff, to the anaesthetist, Mr Mahmud and his surgical staff all put my mind at ease by explaining everything fully. The operation was a great success. I was up and walking with the aid of crutches within hours and allowed to go home within 24 hours. The recovery then started. The exercises were explained and practiced and the pain controlled through medication. I had a good recovery period and also set myself goals, distances to walk and sets of strengthening exercises etc. It wasn’t too long before I was able to walk quite a way without any aids. My confidence levels in my ability to walk as the pain subsided and the fact that my leg was now straight for the first time in years felt fantastic. Within months I felt confident enough to embark on a walking holiday in the Gower Peninsula where we were walking around 8 to 10 miles per day with no ill effects. I am so grateful to Mr Mahmud and his team and I cannot recommend their expertise, kindness and complete professionalism highly enough to others who may be undergoing similar surgical procedures. Their continued aftercare was also critical in my full recovery and their instructions and guidance to support this was paramount in me reaching the stage where I am now completely pain free and live an active and full life once more.
