All I can say to Mr Tavakkolizadeh is thank you. My shoulder replacement has been a huge success. Consultations with him were reassuring and informative and the attention he gave me while I was in hospital was exceptional. The whole experience was so much easier and less painful than I had expected and my recovery has been seamless thanks to his professional excellence.

I can't speak highly enough of Mr Tavakkolizadeh and my experience of his treatment. Before the operation he explained everything clearly and advised me of my options so that I felt well informed at each step. The surgery itself has had a huge impact on my life and I am now pain free for the first time in over 2 years. My huge thanks to Mr Tavakkolizadeh and his team.
