I cannot praise Mr Jalgaonkar enough. I recovered very well after my operation to replace my hip. The scar is hardly noticeable now. He explained everything before my op and also at my follow up appointment. Thankyou very much
Thank you very much for your feedback. It is very satisfying and pleasing to know that you have recovered well and are happy with the treatment.

I visited Mr Jalgaonkar 6 months ago and was advised to undergo a Full Hip Replacement due to osteoarthritis in my right hip. I was nervous about undergoing this procedure but Mr Jalgaonkar explained all that I needed to know in terms of the operation and post op. He made me feel safe and I had complete confidence in him. Since my operation I have regained strength in my leg, I walk without a limp, I no longer have back ache or stiffness. At 5 weeks and 3 days I was walking unaided and built up my steps very quickly to 20+k steps per day. The hip replacement has increased the quality of my life, my mobility and range of movement beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend Mr Jalgaonkar without any hesitation.

Mr Jalgaonkar is a charming Gentlemen he said he would have me sorted inside six weeks and I was fit after four weeks!

Mr Jalgaonkar's minimally invasive approach was much better than I expected! I had a rapid recovery, a small scar and very little pain.

Mr Jalgaonkar x-rayed my knees and explained in detail what was required to stop the pain I was having when walking. He explained the operation required in detail and left the decision whether to go ahead to me. I decided to go ahead.

The whole experience has been fantastic from start to finish and am so happy with the results. At the initial consultation, Mr Jalgaonkar explained the scan results clearly and made it simple to agree on the route to go down (total hip replacement in my case). Probably the only thing that slightly threw me at the start was his "laid back" bed-side manner, but soon became apparent that this comes from his experience and confidence in his speciality. The operation itself went very well and 5 weeks later I am walking confidently and unaided with no pain or limp - and you would have to look very closely to see any scarring. Very happy and would not hesitate in recommending Mr Jalgaonkar to anyone considering hip or knee surgery.

I was most impressed when I first met Mr Jalgaonkar he immediately put me at ease by giving a full explanation of the surgery he would be performing, which was a Total Hip replacement, I did not feel nervous at all and was told the outcome would be a good one.

From my first meeting in November 2020, I did find Mr Jalgaonkar very approachable, courteous and professional. Having read his profile I knew I was in good care. My operational procedure was explained to me in layman's terms . At all times did I feel reassured and comfortable.

My personal experience of meeting Mr Jalgaonkar was that he put one at ease someone you feel you can trust. His bedside manner was very professional and down to earth. The explanation given was thorough and to the point, one was able to ask questions regarding the type of operation he was to perform, it was really nice to see Mr Jalgaonkar after the surgery to put my mind at ease and to say that the operation went well. I am very pleased with the outcome and having my new Hip has improved my long standing back pain I can go back to doing the things I love such as Pilates, walking and gardening to say but a few.

From my first appointment to the final outpatient appointment I have been fully supported by Mr Jalgaonkar. Every step was explained and all my questions succinctly answered. The total hip replacement operation went as planned, successfully, pain free and fully supported by Mr Jalgaonkar and his team. Once back on the ward the nurses looked after my every need. The physio team had me standing and taking a few steps on Day 1. I was walking and climbing steps with crutches by Day 2. Mr Jalgaonkar visited me after the operation and before my discharge. Under his direction, the hospital doctor, pharmacist, physio and discharge nurse all ensured I was fully briefed to manage my convalescence at home. This was all during Covid-19 and so I am even more grateful that my operation went ahead. Regular physio phone calls and an outpatient appointment with Mr Jalgaonkar confirmed the success of the operation and recovery.
