Mr. Shenava is most professional and explained the procedure of my injection clearly and answered any questions I had. I have always received first rate treatment from him and the injection itself is performed with such care and little pain. I would always recommend Mr. Shenava

My experience was magnificent. He explained the procedure, pros and cons, was very attentive. All went to plan with the outcome very successful..

I found him to be professional without losing sight of still being a human and acknowledging that I was also a human, not just a hip that needed replacing. I didn't feel that he was condescending and he responded clearly and honestly to the questions I had, especially regarding the cause of a postponement to my surgery. The surgery went well and the post-operative care was very good. He was initially present when the clips were being removed and was able to advise the healthcare worker about the best way to do it to avoid any discomfort to the patient. Overall, my experience was excellent.

Explanations were good and the options forward present clearly

Mr Shenava performed my first hip replacement in 2009, he was the only one of the consultants who came to review his patients daily after the operation. I was impressed and felt cared for. That operation and a subsequent operation on the other hip in 2020, have proved to be very successful. Following the 2020 operation I have had a comprehensive telephone consultation (Covid restrictions in place) and a face to face appointment. Mr Shenava is very thorough with the information he gives and is prepared to listen to all concerns raised, even those concerning muddled appointments! I have recommended Mr Shenava to several friends, whose experiences have justified that recommendation
