Patient Testimonials:
“I opted for ACL reconstruction and a meniscus tear repair, the surgery went as planned and after rehab, I am again playing football and racquet sports with no pain or hindrance, my knee feels strong and my confidence in making sudden movements and playing contact sports is as before. I cannot thank Dr Taneja enough for all he has done to enable me to return to an active lifestyle.”

“Mr Taneja is a caring sensitive Surgeon. I had a successful partial knee replacement and I felt totally reassured every step of the way. He explained everything clearly and listened carefully to my concerns. I am now week 6 post-op and have made great progress. I will be having my other knee done in the Autumn by Mr Taneja. He has in no uncertain terms given me my life back as I can’t begin to explain the pain I suffered prior to surgery. Thank you again Mr Taneja you are truly up there with the best!”
