Mr Krishnan has been very professional and personable throughout. He explained what had caused the problem with my hip joint and the procedure to correct it. The operation went well and my recovery has been very good. During recovery there was a little discomfort but at no time was I in pain. The scar left is remarkably small given the operation carried out.

After taking the decision to go ahead with hip replacement surgery Mr Krishnan was able to reassure me and took the time to answer all my questions, however trivial. The whole procedure went very smoothly and I was amazed how well I felt straight afterwards. It is now six weeks since the surgery and am very pleased with my progress. The scar is very small and to my surprise there was no bruising. I am walking without any support around the house and just use a walking stick outside, mainly due to the time of year and pavements covered in leaves. I am looking forward to being able to go back to long country walks in the near future. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Krishnan and cannot thank him enough for making this a positive experience.
