I found Mr. Unnithan to be very professional and I had confidence in him immediately. His advice was honest and to the point. The op and recovery went well as predicted and should my other hip need to be replaced, I would hope to be seen by Mr.Unnithan again.

Mr Ashwin Unnithan is a very kind and considerate Consultant. In my face to face appointments he explained everything that was going on and listened to any questions that I asked. The surgery went very well and I am happy with the outcome.

After waiting over a year , following a cancelled appointment due to my own health Dr. Unnithan replaced my right hip. He was a great listener, explaining everything before he went ahead. I am now pain free on my right side , looking forward to a left replacement. Thankyou Mr. Unnithan.

I had a left hip replacement performed by Mr Unnithan in November 2020 at Ashford Hospital. My operation was both very successful and also performed in a way as to keep the after pain for my muscles at a lower level. The care at the Ashford Hospital was kind and also of a high standard. I would recommend Mr Unnithan without any reservations, he is very approachable, happy to answer any questions, ready to suggest possible help and also is a very competent surgeon!

Mr Unnithan is very direct , he doesn’t mince his words and I appreciate his honesty. He and his team did an excellent job on my hip replacement and I’m very pleased with the successful outcome. The quality of care in the orthopaedic ward at Ashford Hospital was excellent and I really appreciate the time and effort the staff made looking after me. I always felt that I was in good hands and I feel confident that I’ll be well looked after when I have future treatment. Thank you.

I found MR Unnithan to be very straight to the point, which was one of first things that I liked about him, On my first meeting with Mr Unnithan I had taken a list of questions but by the time he had explained things to me he had answered all of my questions without me even having to ask. Both my son and myself felt that Mr Unnithan was the right choice for my crucial and complex operation, he was easy to talk to and explained things in detail, we were also very happy with the knowledge that should a problem arise either pre or post op we would able to get in touch with MR Unnithan via email. I am pleased to say that the operation went well thanks to Mr Unnithan who has indeed saved my life to which I am very greatful. I found MR Unnithan to be very professional and I would highly recommend him.

During the early days of Covid lockdown I damaged my knee. I knew it was a bad injury and was shaken by what it might mean, especially given my love of outdoor sports and activities. A trip to A&E and I was lucky enough to be referred immediately to Mr Unnithan. I was immediately struck by his confidence, his calm expertise, and his reassurance that we would get this sorted. He established it was a torn meniscus, and he had me focusing on physio whilst we organised an operation. Through work I was able to use BMI - The Runnymede Hospital. Covid meant planning around timing, but I felt fully ready when I went for surgery a few weeks back. I left surgery the same day, I was walking without assistance, and even with the bandages things felt immediately better. Three weeks later I am training on my bike and you would be hard pushed to see any outward signs of an operation. The actual damage was extensive, the meniscus was not going to heal by itself, but it is now probably better than it has ever been, it feels great. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend Mr Unnithan, and genuinely feel lucky to have met him and have him put me back together!

I am delighted with my new hip. Already at 6 weeks I’m able to move normally and have no restrictions. The leg length is perfect and the scar really neat. All so important as I’m a youngish active person. Mr Unnithan is an amazing surgeon, easy to talk to and he really listens. I’m so grateful he was my surgeon.
