Mt Kucheria was very calm and measured in his explanation of the review and likely procedure that would be required. He provided me with additional information on the nature of the operation for me to review in my own time. I left feeling very confident about his knowledge of the subject matter.

I was in a lot of pain walking as I needed a knee replacement. Since I had robotic surgery to replace my left knee I can walk with no pain at all. It has been brilliant. The care Mr Kucheria provided was top class and recovery was much quicker than I could have imagined. I am very grateful to Mr Kucheria

The operation was done with an epidural and slight sedation and within hours of the epidural wearing off I was standing upright and walking. It was incredible - no more pain. I am now able to enjoy playing tennis and sailing again. I would recommend Mr Kucheria and his team for their knowledge and expertise and thank them for the superb treatment I received.

My symptoms started with a dull ache in the groin and was particularly severe at night-time. I was physically fit and well at the time - gyming four times a week, sailing, enjoying long cycle rides at weekends - there were no other symptoms. I was diagnosed in the May 2015 and surgery was carried out in October 2015. My recovery was uneventful, and I was given excellent care by Mr Kucheria and all the staff at BMI The Princess Margaret Hospital during my stay. My mobility within 4-6 weeks was excellent and I was free of any pain. I now do reform Pilates twice a week to keep my hips flexible. Since my operation, I have recommended Mr Kucheria to many people who have asked my advice.
