Mr Bakti is a very good doctor. He explained everything that he had done during my operation 9 weeks earlier and we discussed my up and coming future operation. I have had total faith in his knowledge and ability since meeting him on the first occasion and I would choose Mr Bakti for any future orthopedic interventions if required.
