He regularly treats musicians, as well as professional and amateur sportsmen and women, and was one of the surgeons dealing with athletes' hand and wrist injuries during the 2012 London Olympics.

Mr Gidwani completed his orthopaedic training in 2006, and obtained his Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons (Trauma & Orthopaedics). He then spent two years in further training at specialist hand and wrist centres including the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Oxford, the Pulvertaft Hand Centre in Derby, and the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane, Australia. This period of training culminated in the award of the British Hand Surgery Diploma. He began his consultant career at Guy's & St Thomas' in 2009. Between 2014 and 2017, he was the Clinical Lead of the Guy's Orthopaedic Department, one of the largest and busiest units in London.

As well as being a busy clinician, Mr Gidwani is actively involved in training junior surgeons; he serves on the British Hand Surgery Society's Instructional Course Committee, and is co-founder and convener of the St Thomas' cadaveric hand trauma course. He keeps his own knowledge and skills up-to-date by regular attendance at national and international conferences, whether as a delegate or member of the teaching faculty. His research interests include the treatment of scaphoid fractures, and the use of joint replacement in the hand and wrist.

Explanation

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.

Mr Gidwani has been absolutely wonderful with my treatment and care. He takes the time to explain things, is incredibly knowledgeable and I just felt very cared for from beginning to end. Mr Gidwani's secretary, Angela is also just fantastic in getting things organised and again, shows care and consideration, which is always welcome when going through health issues. I would have no hesitation recommending anyone who needs a good hand surgeon to see Mr Gidwani.

Explanation

I had bad Dupuytrens on two fingers of my left hand with one bent over about 90 degrees. Mr Gidwani and his team at the Shard / London Bridge Hospital have been fantastic throughout and now, 4 weeks after the surgery, my hand is fast getting back to normal. Huge thanks to Mr Gidwani, as well as to David the physiotherapist and the nurses, for giving me back the use of my fingers!
