Mr Garala has certain earnt his blue Peter badge with me. I had a terrible pain in my hip and needed a redo hip replacement in an emergency as there was a problem with one of the components. The hip wasn't right before the redo procedure but since I've had it done I've been able to walk without a stick and I'm surprised at how little pain I've been in. He had even corrected the difference in leg lengths which improved my back pain. His communication was very clear and he always gave me appropriate time when I saw him. Fantastic job

I was in so much pain when I first met Mr Garala. I had a bad experience at another hospital and Mr Garala gave me so much confidence when he went through the hip replacement surgery. My recovery after 2 weeks was very good and I was able to take an hours walk at 3 to 4 weeks post surgery.

My experience of having a computer navigated total hip replacement with all the staff was fantastic. I was put at ease from the moment I met Mr Garala through to the moment I was discharged. The communication throughout was brilliant. Mr Garala put me at ease and is very approachable and tries his best to personalise my care.

Excellent service for my robotic assisted total knee replacement from the surgeon down to the cleaning staff. I was totally put at ease from the moment I met Mr Garala. I could walk without a stick at 4 weeks and barely a limp at 6 weeks.

After a long wait to sort my hip socket fracture around a hip replacement, I eventually recovered very well following complex surgery by Mr Garala at Queen Elizabeth Hospital.I look forward to getting back to gardening and am very happy and surprised at the speed of recovery.

My experience was excellent. He told me everything that he would do and the challenges associated as it was a redo knee replacement. Before surgery I had to use a stick and motability scooter. Since the surgery I can now walk without a stick and am pain free.

Excellent. My scans, diagnosis, treatment options and recovery times were explained to me fully. Felt extremely positive and have complete confidence in Mr Garala.

Mr Garala is without doubt the most professional, caring and supportive medical officer I have ever come across. Nothing was too much trouble. He took time to explain everything to me in an easy to understand and relaxing manner.
