Patient Feedback

  • The whole visit with Mr Mushtaq was so quality he is such pleasant doctor who makes you feel relaxed explains everything in such detail also you don't feel rushed he is an amazing surgeon he did a hip replacement for me 2019 which has never caused me any problems at all.

  • Mr Mushtaq was totally professional and inspired my confidence. Very clear explanations of condition and options and supportive through the procedure which appears to have had a positive outcome.
    February 2024
  • Mr Mushtaq not only has extensive knowledge of conditions and multiple alternatives for treatment, but doesn't treat everyone the same, tailoring the solution to the individual. In my case this involved encouragement of exercise on the affected area where for others it would be cessation and rest. I am currently enjoying a pain free, exercise full life after Mr Mushtaq's interventions.
