- Monday 5th January 2026, Mr Chitre performed a full right hip replacement on me. Admittedly it was a lengthy process to get to surgery, but got there in the end. Mr Chitre, is a remarkable fella, a lovely manner, you know when you are dealing with a man at the top of his game, his orthopaedic knowledge is top notch. The operation went very well, my back and hip pain has gone, just post operative pain and recovery now. Mr Chitre would be my first choice consultant for any other MSK concerns.
- Mr Chitre was just amazing from start to finish. Thoroughly recommend him to anyone looking to have surgery performed by him. Such a kind and caring man .
- I am over the moon with every aspect of the surgery. I was terrified of surgery but the pain was becoming intolerable and I was limping badly. I would recommend Mr Chitre wholeheartedly a few weeks after the surgery I was pain free and walking without aid. It’s wonderful.
- Mr Chitre was professional and friendly. He kept me well-informed and answered all my questions clearly and honestly. I am delighted to be in his care
