- I had a TKR with Dr Unnithan and he was very professional. The bedside manner was also very friendly and professional. I’ve made a good recovery and this is thanks to the doctor and wider support team. Thank you.
- Dear Dr Unnithan. We sincerely thank you for the care and professionalism shown during my mum’s recent surgery. From the pre-operative consultations through the surgery and recovery process, we felt well informed, supported, and confident in the treatment she received.We truly appreciate the time you took to clearly explain the procedure, patiently answer our questions, and ensure my mum’s comfort throughout.The nursing and support staff were consistently kind and attentive Extremely grateful!
- Mr Unnithan gave me clear explanations of the extent of my injury, and the options for treatment. He was courteous but firm in his assessments, and gave me confidence that I would be in good hands. He has led me to be patient in my recovery, and the treatment appears to have been successful and my recovery is on track. I found all of the staff at Parkside to be friendly and compassionate. I would be happy to recommend both Mr Unnithan and Parkside Hospital to others with similar knee problems.
- I am very grateful to Mr Unnithan and his team at Parkside. My journey from consultation to surgery to discharge was absolutely flawless. Mr Unnithan is friendly, honest and explains what is wrong (and what he is going to do about it!) extremely well. Best of all, six weeks post-op and the pain in my right hip has gone. Wishing all at Parkside a happy, healthy 2026.
- Mr Unnithan was genuine and thorough throughout the entire process. I was very nervous but Mr Unnithan alleviated all my nerves through his clear explanation and expectations, which my wife, son and I were thrilled with. Thank you!
- I recently had knee surgery with Mr. Ashwin Unnithan at Nuffield Health Parkside Hospital in Wimbledon, and I couldn't be more impressed. The entire experience, from pre-op to post-op, was handled with exceptional care and professionalism. Mr. Unnithan.
