Mr Satish, Was very knowledgeable and assertive, and clearly advised of the processes required
Mr Satish has a friendly manner & made me feel immediately at ease. He talked me through my MRI scan in detail, and was very knowledgeable & professional. He explained what the procedure would entail and has fitted me in within 2 weeks which is super efficient and very appreciated. I have absolute confidence in Mr Satish.
Mr Satish and his team have been outstanding! I'm so very grateful to have more mobility, and such a groovy new knee. I'd highly recommend Mr Satish to anyone thinking of undertaking a knee replacement. Thank you so much to the whole team. Kindest regards, Shell xx
Mr Satish has made this a great experience! Highly recommended and he’ll be doing the other one for sure! Clear communication, professionalism and a confidence that is re-assuring.
Really comforting, expert in his field and filled me with confidence rather than concern. Really great professional too.
Mr Satish was recommended to me for a hip replacement. He was confident that he could help and explained where the problems might occur, in a way I could understand.
Follow up appointment and Mr Satish explained my options and administered treatment accordingly.
I had my initial consultation with Mr Satish on the 29th June. During the consultation, Mr Satish was friendly and professional and I immediately felt at ease. He listened attentively and explained everything clearly to me including findings and next steps. I subsequently had an MRI scan and Mr Satish contacted me promptly with the results. The scan unfortunately confirmed that I would need surgery but Mr Satish took the time to thoroughly explain the results, what the procedure would involve, and what recovery and rehab would look like post surgery. He answered every question I had with patience, clarity and honesty, ensuring I felt fully informed and reassured. I have the upmost trust and confidence in Mr Satish. His expertise, professionalism and compassionate approach have made what could have been a much more nerve-wracking experience easier to face. Knowing that he is my surgeon gives me more confidence going into surgery and I genuinely wouldn’t want anyone else. I cannot recommend him enough.
Mr Satish very professional. Examined my knee carefully. Fully explained the results of the MRI, and follow up treatment.
So quick and easy to book, no waiting for additional services and results, in my case X-rays. Polite, professional reception staff and a consultant with empathy, a great manner and amazing support. Everything was carefully and clearly explained and treatment is exactly when I asked for it. Perfect!
Mr Satish is an excellent knee surgeon. I have worked with him as both a colleague but also as a trainee and have learnt huge amounts from his experience.
