I came to Sam with a broken wrist, which had been wrongly diagnosed by the NHS for two years. Sam's care and attention to detail allowed me to begin my recovery and I'm very thankful for that!

An outstanding surgeon who listened to my concerns and turned things around with incredible efficiency. I was in awe watching the skill in theatre and Mr Gidwani was a talent in making me feel at ease throughout surgery, while also having a great sense of humour whilst remaining professional with staff and patient. I look back on my time in theatre as an amazing experience and it was all down to Mr Gidwani. I cannot thank him enough.

Dr.Gidwani was amazing he knew what was the issue and tried to help me by carrying out bloods and other tests to put me at ease. He is a good hand surgeon and on the day of my surgery he looked after me well and assured me that the surgery would be a success.

Freindly helpful and efficient

Mr Gidwani is very professional and he has a kind and friendly approach. I previously had wrist surgery in Italy (distal radius fixation) and, following the necessary checks, he recommended having the plate removed to prevent tendon disruption. He took the time to explain everything in detail and to make sure I was well informed. The surgery was successful and I felt in the best possible hands. The procedure was at OneWelbeck, where I had a great experience and I found all the staff very kind and professional. Mr Gidwani's secretary Angela has always been very kind and helpful. My experience with Mr Gidwani has been absolutely positive and I would definitely recommend him.
