- When I first met Mr K Devalia I was very optimistic and looking forward to the outcome of my right Achilles and my right Achilles tendon debridement and reconstruction. Mr K Devalia explained everything in detail and how long recovery would be. Thanks to Mr K Devalia Iam now able to do my mountain biking and long days fly fishing in the river pain free. I would strongly recommend Mr K Devalia to anyone thinking of Achilles tendon surgery. Thank you John shemmings
- Dr Devalia was great from start to finish. He was friendly and reassuring and made the whole procedure very easy and comforting.
- Mr Devalia, has to be the best consultant I've seen at any hospital. I would like thank him for improving my quality of life after my recent toe surgery. He is a credit to the medical profession.
- An extremely positive experience from start to finish. Mr Devalia strikes the right balance between professional and approachable explaining things clearly and honestly. I knew I was in excellent hands from the start of the process. Highly recommend.
- I had complex surgery on my ankle after a hill walking accident. Mr Devalia repaired a torn ligament, torn tendon and torn retinaculum that holds the tendons in place. The latter involved also deepening the groove in the ankle bone that the tendons sit in. He explained the whole procedure in an easily understood way and his track record of such surgery filled me with confidence. 18 weeks on after the surgery I am well on the way to getting back to hill walking. An inspiring surgeon.
- Friendly and helpful staff who went out of there way to provide me with help and care that I required.
- Couldn't of ask for a better doctor and place to have my treatment and surgery on my ankle. 10/10 from me. Mr devalia is and great doctor and even better friendly person.
- Mr Devalia did a big toe fusion for me, which has turned out very good. He was caring and put me at ease. He explained everything well beforehand. The function and look of my foot is so much better. I wouldn't hesitate to go back to him for a procedure
- Cartilage repair & ligament reconstruction surgery, Mr Devalia was excellent & procedure not as painful as expected. Was back weight bearing & walking within 4 weeks. Walking the dog for 14km with no issue. Would recommend to have procedure if considering
