My son was having frequent knee dislocations. We came to see DrBuddhdev who came up with a plan to operate, he was professional throughout and explained things in a way my son could understand. He did an amazing job and my son can now get back to living an active life without the fear and pain that his knee is going to dislocate. We couldn’t be more grateful.

We had an excellent experience with the doctor. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable and thorough, while also being very friendly and approachable. What impressed us most was the way he immediately put our 7yrs old son at ease, using humour and a few jokes to make him feel comfortable during the consultation. This made a real difference and created a relaxed and positive atmosphere. We came away with a very positive impression and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional, knowledgeable and caring orthopaedic specialist

We can't thank Mr Buddhdev enough for looking after our son when he broke his wrist. His bedside manner was outstanding. He was relaxed, approachable and genuinely fun, and he had a wonderful way with our 4-year-old that put him completely at ease. That made a huge difference to what could have been a stressful experience for both of us. Mr Buddhdev also went the extra mile by swapping my son’s cast for a waterproof one, which was a total game changer for our holiday. He gave clear instructions for how to look after and dry the waterproof cast, which meant it worked perfectly with no issues and that my son was able to enjoy himself fully on the trip. Mr Buddhdev is a real credit to his profession, and we're so grateful for his care and kindness. Thank you!

We initially visited Mr Buddhdev following an incorrect diagnosis of transient synovitis. Within minutes of meeting our son and reviewing hospitals original MRI scans, Mr Buddhdev gave us a correct diagnosis of pyomyositis together with a clear plan on how to tackle the infection. After a 6-week course of oral antibiotics our son’s condition improved drastically and he returned to his usual active self.

The Burden of Hip Disease in Children 👶🏻👧🏼

The Burden of Hip Disease in Children 👶🏻👧🏼

👨‍⚕️ Today we shed light on the importance of raising awareness about diseases that affect our little ones’ hips including as Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (#DDH), #Perthes disease, and Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (#SUFE). 💪👶 As parents, caregivers, and medical professionals, we have a crucial role to play in ensuring the hip health of our children. By detecting these conditions early, we can intervene and provide the necessary treatment to support their growth, mobility, and overall well-being. 🚶‍♀️ 🔍 In this video reel, I wanted to take a moment to explain why my work in paediatric hip disease is so important to me. Through years of experience, continuous learning, and a passion for helping children, I have witnessed the life-changing impact of early diagnosis and appropriate management. 🏥💡 By educating ourselves and others about these conditions, we empower ourselves to recognize the signs, seek timely medical attention, and ultimately improve outcomes for our little patients. Together, we can create a community of support and understanding around paediatric hip health. 🌍🎗️ Let’s join hands on this International Hip Health Day and spread the word. Share this video reel and help us raise awareness about the significance of paediatric hip disease. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of our beloved children. ❤️And of course if you know someone who has a child with a condition impacting their hips, reach out on www.thekidsbonedoc.com to book a consultation! 📞 07415 415260 #InternationalHipHealthDay #TheKidsBoneDoc #PaediatricOrthopaedics #ChildrensHealth #HipHealthAwareness #HealthyHipsForOurKids #EarlyDetectionMatters #ChildhoodWellBeing #CaringForOurFuture

📢🌍 Today is INTERNATIONAL SCOLIOSIS AWARENESS DAY ! 🌍📢

📢🌍 Today is INTERNATIONAL SCOLIOSIS AWARENESS DAY ! 🌍📢

oday I want to raise awareness about #scoliosis, a condition that affects the spinal health of our little superheroes. Let’s dive right in and learn some important facts! 🌟 Scoliosis is a condition that causes the spine to curve sideways. Early detection is key! 👀 Look out for signs like uneven shoulders, a prominent shoulder blade, or an uneven waist. If your child’s clothes don’t fit properly or they complain of back pain, it’s time to get it checked out. ⏰ Early screening is crucial! Regular check-ups help us catch scoliosis early, allowing for the most effective treatment options. 🌟 Management methods vary based on severity and age. From exercises and physical therapy to bracing or surgery for severe cases, personalised care is essential. 📞 Book a consultation with me today to ensure your child receives expert care and support for their spinal health. Together, we can make a difference! www.thekidsbonedoc.com or ☎️ 07415 415260 💙 Share this post with friends and family to spread the word and empower others. Knowledge is power! Let’s stand tall and strong against scoliosis! 🌈✨
