Testimonials
What our patients say...
“As an international trampoline gymnast, my knee injury affected far more than everyday life; it threatened a huge part of who I am and what I’ve worked towards for years. Mr Barkatali understood that from day one, and I feel incredibly fortunate he was my surgeon. His skill and expertise were exceptional, and I felt in the best possible hands. His reassurance, honesty and genuine care made an enormous difference. He understood that my goal wasn’t simply to recover, but to return to competing internationally. Being back training means more than I can put into words. I’m forever grateful to Mr Barkatali for his impact on my career and life.”
Bashar Al Turk (GB Trampolinist), Quad ACL Reconstruction in July 2025, aged 22
“I had a full ACL reconstruction by Mr Barkatali after a ski accident at 46 years old. The recovery journey was a big one but it got me thinking, what else could I do? Triathlon appealed - I started back on my bike, then going to the pool and Couch to 5k, as part of my recovery. I started small and since then have done 5 triathlons winning my age category in every one - which I couldn’t believe!! I’m the fittest and strongest I’ve ever been. If I hadn’t had the care and focus to support my knee journey, I don’t think I would ever have challenged myself like this!”
Sally, Quad ACL Reconstruction in April 2024, aged 46.
“Bilal performed an ACL recon with quad tendon graft for me back in June 2024. Well, everything has gone superbly since then, and I just want to let him know that I've just finished a week skiing in the Alps. I tore the ACL whilst skiing, and so was a little apprehensive to go back to "the scene of the crime" as it were.
Anyway, it has been a resounding success. My knee has felt great… I just want Bilal to know how delighted I am with my new bionic knee. I am so grateful for his skill and expertise in fixing me up so that I can do this.”
David, Quad ACL Reconstruction in June 2024, aged 53.
“Approx 18 months after having both knees replaced, I was skiing this last week and all went well and the knees held up just fine even with a couple of falls!!! So pleased with the operations and to be pain free and back doing the things I love is fantastic!
Wendy, Bilateral Total Knee Replacements in November 2023 and February 2024, aged 58
“Please could you pass my thanks onto Bilal, I am now back riding my horses less than 10 weeks post op which is amazing. Totally pain free so I’m delighted to be on the road to normality again!”
Judith, Total Knee Replacement in May 2025 aged 60
“Mr Barkatali made me feel so comfortable and reassured. I was pretty stressed out because I was playing rugby at a high level, but he made me feel at ease. After the surgery and recovery, it's brand new again, back to normal—I'm still playing rugby at a high level and it doesn't cause me any grief. He is so empathetic, understanding of your situation, and a true professional. I couldn't recommend anyone more."
Max, Quad ACL Reconstruction 2022, aged 17

“He's given me my life back, there's no doubt about that at all. It feels like it's completely back on track with no pain and nothing holding me back from doing anything that I wanted to.”
Alison Cutler, Arthroscopy + Distal Femoral Osteotomy March 2022 aged 53.
“I'm really lucky now because I can do everything that I could do before the problems arose. I'm also a really good example for anybody out there who's nervous about exercising post-surgery that actually you can get back to where you were”
