Dr Gidwani was extremely thorough and informative throughout. Can’t fault anything. Thank you

Very good but I did not realise how sensitive my hand would be at first.
5
Dr Gidwani is top class, with a rare mix of significant experience and strong interpersonal skills and empathy. I have seen him 3 times over the past 2 months and very highly recommend him.
5
Mr Gidwani was exceptional, put me at ease and was very attentive.
5
Mr Gidwani is a superb surgeon with an excellent, relaxed yet extremely professional and competent manner. I was seen at One Welbeck.

I'm a very satisfied repeat patient - carpal release on both wrists.
5
Mr Gidwani has been great. He has explained everything carefully, allowing me to weigh options, ask questions and make decisions at my own pace. The final operation (a right wrist replacement) was clearly fairly tricky, but has successfully relieved me of pain and I am delighted. Mr Gidwani's stitching is remarkably neat and I have only minimal signs of the surgery. He has been efficient, courteous and good/humoured throughout and I would have no hesitation recommending him to anyone with a similar Injury.
5
Mr Gidwani explained everything clearly, he was reassuring and is clearly a very skilled surgeon.
5
Mr Gidwani explained the procedure and answered all my question ahead of the operation. The procedure itself was completed without issue. Overall, a great experience

Dr Mr Sam Gidwani saw me at the 17 Lodge Road clinic , London last week. His PA had managed to arrange an urgent appointment for me. Dr Mr Sam Gidwani was on time, very professional, had managed to arrange an X-ray and a hand physio for me on the same day so that no time was wasted. His medical advice was very clear and precise. I am very impressed and very grateful for his professional advice and attention. Big thank you

Have you worked with this specialist?
As a fellow medic, there is no higher praise for colleague than to trust them with the care for one's mother. My mother was suffering De Quervain's tenosynovitis of her wrist, and needed an expedient steroid injection ... and Sam came highly recommended, and I somehow sensed he'd be right for my mother ... and he was exactly that! I have no hesitation in recommending Sam's care for your loved ones too.
