Mr Thakur did a partial knee replacement for me at Ashford One in 2023. I was delighted with the results and therefore I had to negotiate all the hurdles put in my way by the NHS to get back to have my other knee done. I am now 6 weeks post op with a partial knee replacement and am fully mobile. Mr Thakur is polite, knowledgeable and friendly and told me exactly what he had done during the operation.
