Bilateral Knee replacement surgery

As a former (amateur) football player and marathon runner I have been suffering from osteoarthritis in both knees since my fifties. The condition has now deteriorated to such an extent that a bilateral knee joint replacement will be called for in the not-too-distant future.

But I feel very fortunate to have had Mr Jairaj as my Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon for the last couple of years. From my very first consultation with him, Mr Jairaj impressed me by his high intelligence, his extensive knowledge and expertise in his chosen specialty and his exemplary approach to patient care. Mr Jairaj’s whole approach is utterly professional. He is able to explain medical issues, and e.g. outline the different options for treatment, with great clarity and incisiveness, and in a way that the patient can readily understand.

At the same time, Mr Jairaj displays great empathy for his patient and is sensitive to the patient’s needs and concerns. I am, for example, grateful to Mr Jairaj for having over the last 18 months given me two successive bilateral steroid knee injections. This has enabled me throughout this period to enjoy a pretty active lifestyle and to operate with a very reasonable degree of mobility, although I appreciate that in the longer term a bilateral knee joint replacement is unavoidable.

As and when the time comes for this, I have every confidence that Mr Jairaj will perform the operation with the utmost skill and care. I have no doubt that Mr Jairaj enjoys the trust and confidence of all his patients. He is  an outstanding doctor in every way, and I would not hesitate to recommend him as an Orthopaedic Consultant Surgeon to any friends, colleagues or members of my family who were experiencing hip or knee joint problems.
