Reviews
Had a full knee replacement all going well so far ll was explained to me in full details of the operation and what had been done
Thank you for your kind feedback. I’m pleased to hear your recovery is going well so far and that you felt fully informed about your procedure and the outcome. Wishing you continued progress with your recovery.
Mr Kakar recently saw me in connection with pain I was experiencing with my left leg and hip. He quickly identified the issue and recommended a hip replacement and leg lengthening operation. On the day, I met with Mr Kakar again to walk me through the operation to help allay any concerns myself and my wife had about the procedure. Mr Kakar has a great manner about him and how he explains everything to you. Felt in safe hands from day 1
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m delighted to hear you felt in safe hands from your very first consultation and that everything was explained clearly and reassuringly for both you and your wife. Feeling informed and confident ahead of surgery is so important. Wishing you all the very best with your recovery.
I saw Mr Kakar on Monday and had a new hip on Saturday. The whole process was smooth and reassuring. I developed a lung infection soon after and was readmitted overnight but my recovery has continued steadily supported by the physio sessions. Overall I am happy to be on the road to more active and fulfilling life. Well worth the cost but the hospital coffee was awful.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m delighted to hear you felt reassured throughout your treatment journey and that your recovery is progressing well with the support of your physiotherapy. Wishing you continued success as you return to a more active lifestyle. We’ll certainly take your comments about the coffee on board!
I couldn't be happier with the care I received during my bilateral hip replacement. From the moment I checked in until my discharge and aftercare, everything was handled professionally and with genuine care. Mr Kakar's recommendation to have the operation was absolutely the right decision, and I already feel so much better. A huge thank you to Mr Kakar and all the staff for making the whole experience as smooth and reassuring as possible. I would highly recommend Mr Kakar to anyone considering this procedure.
The whole visit was well set out and explained at each step.
Thank you for your lovely review. I’m so pleased to hear you felt well informed and supported at every stage of your visit.
Highly professional and very knowledgeable on his area of expertise. Explained the procedure(s) thoroughly and executed the procedures with skill and precision. I’m really pleased with the outcome of my recent surgery.
Attended for repeat HC injection. Excellent service provided throughout. Would not use anyone else. Highly recommended. Thank you
Dr Kakar explained the operation fully and came in after the operation to ensure everything was as good as it could be.
He was friendly and informative, he showed me the X-ray and explained what was done
