This was my final check-up with Mr Tavakkolizadeh. I cannot over-emphasise how grateful I am to him for both my successful shoulder joint replacements - starting in 2022. From the outset he was reassuring, very knowledgeable, professional- and really charming. I can assure any future patients that they will have the best of treatment. And - as I’ve said before - I just wish he did knees!!!
Happy re whole process with Dr T from start to hopeful finish... if anything the Insurer could improve their communications and especially when it comes to paying the excess.
