Thank you for this very kind review. I'm so glad. you are healing as expected - it only works when the surgeon, physio and patient all work together so your own effort has played a huge part in this recovery.

Explanation

I found Prof Kochhar to be very thorough and reassuring, from a patient perspective. I appreciated his willingness to: explain my condition; speak candidly around the possible causes, including explaining how thinking had changed over time and around the lack of sufficient research to be able to adequately answer this in simplistic terms; and his empathy towards my pain.

Such a lovely, informative, helpful and caring consultant. Prof Kochhar fixed my battered shoulder in no time and I’m in a lot less pain since! He shared his expertise in simple terms, and provided me a clear pathway to recovery. I’d return to him in a heartbeat (but I hope I never have to).

I have referred patients to them

I have worked closely with Tony, both referring my patients for orthopaedic opinions and receiving referrals from my colleague. Tony is a dynamic expert professional, very approachable and inspires confidence in patients he looks after. I have had excellent feedback from my patients that I refer and safety is his key approach. Tony has a brilliant academic stance towards his patient management which is so evident from his correspondence. Knowing when not to operate is a skill that my surgical colleague certainly has perfected ! Excellent colleague and pleasure to work with.
