Patient reviews Mr Kash Akhtar
I went to see Dr Kash Akhtar for an ongoing knee pain. He completed tests to find out what was wrong and carried out an injection to relieve the pain. He has also made me feel really confident in returning back to the gym but also reassured me that if I ever needed to get back in touch, I can. So friendly and helpful, 100% recommend.

I went to see Dr Kash Akhtar for a torn meniscus at the Cleveland Clinic in central London. He is a very likeable and direct person and his self confidence in medical issues provides great comfort in his ability to advise and medically treat your orthopedic issues.
I went for an initial and then a follow-up appointment and felt I received very good advice, was not pushed into any rushed decision and left reassured that I was on a path to sustainable long term healing. Both of his written letters were provided swiftly within 24 hours to a good level of detail in case any follow-on issues that require medical attention recur. I warmly recommend Kash Akhtar.

I went to see Mr Akhtar about my knee pain. He was easy to talk to and explained my condition clearly and compassionately with the help of a MRI scan and a model of the knee. He was very professional and friendly so I felt at ease at all times. I would highly recommend him.

If only every medical experience was as compelling as my session with Mr Kash Akhtar. What could have been a complicated message to a non medical professional was easy to understand and more importantly one had 100% confidence in him and his abilities.

Kash Ahktar has simply been fautless since our first appointment. Following a ski accident, I experienced my first ever serious injury - knee related - which is really daunting. After not feeling too confident with the first surgeon I was linked up with, on recommendation from my physio I booked in to see Kash. He was highly knowledgeable and made me feel really informed with my options - surgical/non surgical. I had a snapped ACL, torn MCL and fairly extensive bone bruising, and wanting to return to o.sport with zero doubt in my mind, I felt a op would give me peace of mind. After Kash performing 4 meniscus tests on me, I passed two and failed two so it was 50:50 chance of meniscus damage too and would only be able to confirm during the operation. After setting out the options for the graft, being a female and wanting to minimise scarring I opted for an allograft (donor tissue) and Kash reassured me of it’s reliability in the modern day as opposed to 30 year old research that still is accessible on the internet! All in all I went into my op feeling reassured that I was in really capable hands which really does alleviate so much stress at an otherwise daunting time. Post op, there was indeed meniscus damage and an additional requirement to shave some bone, but Kash explained everything to me thoroughly afterwards (with photos!!!) and I’m seeing him in two weeks for my follow up! Thanks Kash for being so amazing!!!

Kash is friendly, comprehensive and gave a considered opinion. He took the time to explain non surgical as well as surgical options in an understandable way. I felt I had adequate time to contemplate things and give everything a good try

Dr Kash Akhtar is highly professional and provided excellent care and support. He is very experienced and is very articulate, whilst making it easy to understand the medical aspects. I felt fully informed and clear about every stage of the process, and his clinical letters were spot on. I felt very safe having him as my surgeon.
Definitely would recommend him. Very polite and conscientious.
