- I found Mr Gulihar very clear and helpful regarding my injury - dislocated elbow and 2 fractures. He answered questions fully and was clear and concise. He never made me feel I was asking stupid questions. The whole experience of my operation was excellent as was follow-up.
- Very pleased with the surgery and aftercare that I received
- I had carpal tunnel surgery with Dr. Abhinav Gulihar and I cannot thank him enough for the exceptional care I received. From the very first consultation, he was incredibly patient, kind, and thorough in explaining the procedure. He took the time to walk me through every step, both before and during the surgery, which really helped ease my anxiety. The surgery itself went extremely well, and I’m so happy to say that I’ve fully recovered. Throughout the recovery process, Dr. Gulihar remained supportive and available. I had to make a few adjustments to my follow-up appointments due to personal circumstances, and he was kind enough to accommodate me despite his busy schedule. His dedication, compassion, and professionalism truly stand out. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about his patients. I’m deeply grateful for everything he’s done, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of orthopedic care.
- Mr Gulihar was a very nice consultant to meet. He made sure I was looked after and listened to my concerns and addressed them. Most importantly he made sure that I received the treatment I needed in a timely manner. Since my operation I have recovered full use of my arm.
- Mr Gulihar is very reassuring. He talked me through the entire process, possible outcomes and I felt relaxed because of his manner. He made what possibly could have been a scary process, very easy to go through. He is approachable, very easy to talk to and answered all queries
- Friendly, efficient, clear diagnosis and presentation of options resulting in action being taken promptly. Impressed with overall experience. Thank you.
- Excellent, constructive appointment discussing my condition and making a plan to cure it.
- From setting up initial appointment through testing, surgery and after care he has been a pleasure to deal with. Would thoroughly recommend
- I had a 3.30 appointment and I was still waiting at 4pm with no explanation or reason. I had to ask at reception what was happening and had to reschedule. It would have been nice to have been informed of the delay but I suppose my time doesn’t matter
- GENERAL: surgery on a collarbone (tough case with fully broken bones and multiple small pieces being loose). Recovered fully with a full range of motion and being able to do all sports. Felt supported and well taken care of. DETAIL: Doctor Gulihar treated me after a serious bike accident - I broke my collarbone in 4 places. The doctor put in appointment for the next day after my accident, advised me on the next steps and we agreed to go ahead with a surgery. The surgery occurred in the first available time slot (here it depended on the hospital and I had to wait 6 days, which was much earlier that the NHS). The surgery went smooth even though my collarbone was in a very bad state with small pieces needed to be put together. I had full range of motion 3 DAYS after the surgery (remarkable) and was able to start using my hand within the next few days. I had support throughout the recovery process with regular check ups and x-rays. I was also referred to a good physiotherapist. I felt that the doctor really cared about my case and was very supportive. Very grateful to be treated by such a great professional.
