We could not speak more highly of Mr Krishnan and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone. He is an incredibly caring person who immediately puts you at ease and makes you feel completely comfortable. We are so pleased that we found him to carry out our daughter’s ACL reconstruction. Thanks to him and his team, she making an excellent recovery. The standard of care was outstanding, and the results speak for themselves, her physio is amazed at the recovery she has made so soon after surgery

Mr. Krishnan was very polite and took the trouble to explain and answer all my questions today and at the very first appointment I had with him, before my operation. He gave me good advice on ways to make sure l would get the maximum benefit from the operation eg. Losing weight and working through the pain, to do the exercises. I am pleased to say he was right. I was also very happy that the scar healed very nicely. He did a very neat job. My sincere gratitude to him.
