Mr Rao operated on both my hips over a period of six months. I found him to be very knowledgeable and approachable. He understood the problems I had been experiencing, which were exacerbated by some scoliosis in the spine. Mr Rao clearly described the process of total hip replacement surgery and what to expect over the recovery period. As well as providing me with new joints, he explained how he would attempt to rectify my leg length discrepancy. Indeed, on recovery from my second surgery six weeks ago I was delighted to find myself "level" at last! I am very happy to have chosen Mr Rao as my consultant.

Very informative and easy to discuss any issues

Gave a calm and reassuring explanation of process and recovery. Really put me at ease from first consultation to discharge.

Mr Rao is a miracle worker. My new knee has already completely changed my life. Mr Rao was kind, gentle and very understanding of my difficulties. I cannot thank him and his staff enough.

Mr Rao listened carefully to my explanation of my condition whichI regarded as severe but the NHS assessment suggested no medical intervention was necessary a t this juncture. His view was rather different and he was able to show me the change in the condition of my hip in X-rays taken eight years apart, something my GP did not have access to. As a result it was agreed I would benefit from hip replacement surgery, which I have now had and the improvement in my condition was immediate.

Very honest and clear in explaining what my operation would entail and how recovery would look both in hospital and at home, in a realistic way. Warm and open, and answered all my questions. Very professional but kind, I felt safe in his hands and he checked up on me after my operation and helped me feel hopeful of life improving if I followed the clear guidance he gave me.

Very knowledgeable and informative. Had great confidence in him.

Mr Madhu Rao is an excellent surgeon. Very clear with his explanations. With a kind manner.

The whole experience has been far beyond my expectations. Mr Rao has been fantastic from day one, thank you from the bottom of my heart, you have turned my life around.

Everything was made very clear to me by Mr Rao and he gave me the confidence to proceed with my operation. I had no worries because I knew what to expect and was not disappointed. Excellent service!!!
