I felt he listened to my needs and expectations and gave me and honest opinion regarding any treatment offered
Dr Rahul takes time to understand underlying issues. Gathers relevant details and uses the latest technologies to administer the correct treatments. Highly recommend.
I have cronic disease to my rotator cuff, the result being severe pain and very restricted movement, The previous cortisone injections on the NHS have proved short lived and mostly ineffective. Dr Lakhera uses the latest 'ultra sound' equipment to locate the exact point and skilfully delivers the steroid where it is most needed.
Recommended by a friend, I found the service very helpful ;booking an appointment and explaining the procedure. Dr Lakhera explained how the consultation would be conducted for the diagnosis and treatment. He was very clear, showing me the ultra-sound scans and discussing what he had identified. Referral for an MRI scan was competed very quickly and returned to Wharfedale clinic for treatment, completed within eight days. Treatment has been successful .
I had acute backache due to a specific injury and we decided on a steroid injection. All done very discreetly and without pain, thank you.
I have been to the clinic quite a few times for bad knees, sciatica and other things in all cases my conditions improved immesurably. My recent consulting was under the new ownership and I found it at least the equal of previous visits coupled with interesting conversation during treatment..
Consultation and procedure went better than expected, very happy with the service. Excellent communication with the practice
Dr Rahul was very professional and very clear in his explanations of my condition. He is caring and friendly and the treatment he administered to me was excellent. Altogether an outstanding Dr .
Dr Rahul was very sympathetic, understanding and reassuring, the treatment was painless and gentle and precise. As was explained the treatment worked so well I was back at work in 3 days and able to go on the family holiday a week later. Excellent service , excellent treatment ....life saver and I can't thank him enough . I would thoroughly recommend Dr Rahul and the Wharfedale clinic for any musculoskeletal problems especially agonising debilitating sciatica that I suffered for 4 weeks before my appointment !
I have known Rahul personally and professionally for a number of years. He is an experienced clinician and in particular spinal injections. Rahul has a lovely warm and friendly demeanor
