- Mr Desai was open and friendly, listened carefully to my problem and involved me in the process of deciding on treatment that was optimal for me. He also explained my problems in a way which I could follow.
- Nice chap. Very efficient and pleasant. Excellent job done!
- Fracture completed healed, no sign of join. 100% mobility AND almost invisible scar even with a plate and 6 screws. Excellent!
- I’m a little late writing this feedback, but it’s worthwhile anyway. Mr Desai undertook a rotator cuff repair on my left shoulder. He was quite stern with his instructions afterwards, and rhe results of this have been shown to pay off 6 months later. Full recovery.
- I was really pleased with the professionalism and patient care.
- Mr Desai was very thorough with my consultation. And explain my procedure in great detail. The surgery was very prompt and I was sent home with some exercises to do every day. Thanks to him the whole procedure from the first consultation to being discharged was seamless.
- Mr. Desai is probably one of the best skilled surgeons in all of the UK. He is very gentle, approachable and genuinely caring towards his patient. Highly recommended to see his practice. His dedication towards his field is unmatched.
- Excellent diagnosis, surgery, care & communication. Thank you Dr Desai for repairing my horrible shoulder & allowing return to my normal life without pain. Many thanks.
- Excellent Consultant fixed both of my elbows from pins and needles and dropping items. I appreciate the care taken.
