Reviews

Mr Buddhdev not only a great surgeon, but so amazing with the kids. My daughter had her legs straightened by having plates put in her knee. Within a year they are now lovely and straight!! We can't thank him enough!! It's not often you find doctors as good as him these days and he deserves so much credit for his skill and that of his team.

After seeing a few different consultants and varying opinions over the last 6 years, Mr Buddhdev has been a ray of sunshine, extremely helpful and proactive. Very personable, friendly and brilliant with children. He made the whole surgery process easier for my son and has been excellent at keeping us informed, explaining what will happen and made sure we were doing well post surgery.Mr Buddhdev is an extremely skilled surgeon who genuinely cares about his patients and we felt safe in his care.
