The visit to Prof Sharma has been absolutely transformative and has given me complete clarity about how to manage my condition. He listened to me and has given me exactly what I wanted, which was to understand the parameters of how I can safely exercise. I can now go back to doing what I love with total confidence. Effectively, he’s given me half my life back!
His manner was warm, welcoming and very reassuring, which was helpful as I was very nervous about the visit.
In summary, I cannot thank this wonderful Professor enough.

Dr Batty identified my issue when 4 other medical professionals could not. He then prescribed a very simple but effective exercise to fix the issue in a very short space of time.
I highly recommend Dr Batty

I was seem on time
My x ray person was excellent, pleasant and efficient.
I then met dr Batty . I instantly felt confident in his approach . He was obviously an expert in his field. After a thorough examination he made recommendations to deal with the issue( lack of cartilage in knees and I felt confident if I followed his advice , I would get the required improvement.
When I got home ( an hour later) a written report and explanation of my exercises required to be done. A most satisfactory experience.
