- Quality service, friendly and and super efficient
- A very quick and helpful appointment with Paul. He reassured me as best as possible given the circumstances and acted quickly to arrange a scan and follow-up appointment.
- Paul was brilliant and accessible at all times for any questions I had ahead of the surgery. After 2 weeks I was on a static bike and with good post op physio support I’m probably stronger than before the injury.
- My experience with Paul Trikha has been excellent. Knowledgeable and definitely focuses on the outcomes best suited to the patient. I would recommend him if you are looking for a knee specialist.
- All I've had so far is a consult, so I won't really have an opinion until I've got a diagnosis or treatment.
- No regrets whatsoever following double partial knee replacement. Walking without crutches 3 weeks later . Would totally recommend. Don’t be a martyr - take the meds they give you religiously, and ensure you do your exercises following a codeine and morphine dose - then ice
- Very good doctor.
- I saw Dr Trikha after tearing my ACL and meniscus, my surgery was smooth and my recovery has gone well. After a very negative experience with an initial surgeon who I felt didn’t listen to me and judged me, I felt heard and respected by Dr Trikha, I’m extremely grateful to him
- I would highly recommend Dr Trikha to anyone. I felt at ease throughout my treatment and confident that I was being looked after to the highest standard.
- Mr. Paul Trikha is a great consultant! I tore my ACL and meniscus. Mr Trikha did the surgery and 3 months since then I am having a lot less trouble with daily activities. More importantly I am looking forward to doing running and sports again all thanks to his work.
