“When I was told at the age of 40 that my knees life had come to an end and that I would have to wait 10 years until I could have a knee replacement I was naturally very depressed. A family man with young kids and a passion for playing sport the news was unthinkable. Research on the internet exposed me to cartilage regrowth implants. The rep of the company pioneering this procedure introduced me to George Tselentakis, a genius who was to change my life. “I underwent the procedure. A surgeon who has a fantastic bedside manner, explaining all in layman’s terms and re-assuring me and my family all the way. Two years down the line I have skied, cycled and last season scored 1000 runs at cricket!! “George is always at the end of the phone to answer my many questions, fully up to date with medical advances. I would recommend anyone to have a consultation with him.”

“I’m a full time Judo player, training at the British Judo Performance Institute and part of the Great Britain Judo Team. After rupturing my ACL Mr George Tselentakis operated, reconstructing my Anterior Cruciate Knee Ligament.” I can’t speak highly enough for what George Tselentakis did for me, throughout what was a difficult time for me he was understanding of my needs and demands of my sports, he took the time and care towards what was best for me and did everything he could to ensure it was successful, from the initial operation until I was back competing. Since my operation, I have made a full recovery and look to continue my career in judo. I will always be grateful for what Mr George Tselentakis did for me, he is a great man who I cannot recommend highly enough.”

“I tore my anterior cruciate ligament whilst skiing. Mr Tselentakis provided not only an expert reconstruction of the ligament but also extremely helpful guidance on rehabilitation and recovery. I’m pleased to say that a year after the injury and ten months after surgery, I was back on the slopes for a successful week of skiing!”

 "To the total confidence that his high professional qualifications in this very specialized field give to the prospective patient is added the pleasure of meeting a man of warm humanity and wide learning. I am a grateful patient.”

“I first met Mr George Tselentakis at Gatwick Park, I had at this time had 4 operations. Nothing to do with George Tselentakis.  So I was worried about having yet another operation. My first visit to see Mr Tselentakis was so relaxed, he explained everything and said it would be a different operation because the other operations went wrong so I was disabled.. He was wonderful, caring and polite and explained every detail. I was quite worried at the end and I think he could see I was upset. He suggested another visit. In May I have an appointment and again in July, we chatted and he said you haven’t made a decision yet have you and I said no!! He explained he was going on holiday in August and if I made a decision to call his secretary and she would make all arrangement for September of which I did. Mr George Tselentakis operated and I was so surprised. He is wonderful and his anaesthetist visited me twice a day and his manner was wonderful too. He was so kind and understanding. There are few doctors and surgeons around so I was lucky to have found Mr George Tselentakis – God Bless Him. To conclude all I can say is thank you, he is a very talented man and such a sense of humour, a real gentleman. I feel honoured to have found him – many thanks for all you have done for me.”

“I have recently had a knee revision and am absolutely delighted with the outcome. I was completely satisfied with the surgery and aftercare I received and would not hesitate to recommend Mr George Tselentakis to others. He was most supportive and patient in helping me to understand what the operation entailed, and I always felt my well being was of personal importance to him.”

“It is almost 2 years since Mr Tselentakis performed by Knee Replacement, I was then 79 years old and the thought of a knee replacement filled me with grave doubts as to whether it would be a success, in view of my age, I need not have worried however, and I am pleased to say that after 2 years of constant use, my new knee is almost as good as my original.  I feel this is due to Mr Tselentakis’ skill and attention and care taken before and during the operation which was first class. I cannot thank him enough. I am now in my eighty second year and still very active, bowling four times a week and dancing, not bad for an old codger. I would not have been able to do this with my old knee, thank you one again for all your help.”

“I was suffering from acute pain in my knee. Fortunately I was recommended to Mr Tselentakis as a consultant surgeon who had great experience in performing knee replacement operations. The operation was wholly successful.  Since then the knee has given me no pain at all and is to all intents and purposes a new one. Before the operation Mr Tselentakis was encouraging, reassuring and optimistic. After the operation he was strict and firm in ensuring that I completed the daily programme of exercises which, I am sure, played an important role in my rapid and complete recovery from the operation.  At every stage of the whole process Mr Tselentakis displayed a perfect combination of high professional skills and warm personal charm and encouragement. Any patient would welcome this, but especially a nervous patient in her (or his) eighties. I would recommend Mr Tselentakis to anyone facing the need for surgery of any kind and who is therefore looking for a consultant surgeon who combines the highest level of skill and professional experience with genuine warmth, reassurance and encouragement.”

“Before I had my knee replacement operation I was suffering a lot of pain and a poor quality of life due to poor mobility. Since the operation my life really has been transformed. I am pain free and now enjoy a level of mobility that I never thought possible. Thank you so much.”

“When you learn that your child requires surgery, a level of concern naturally follows. Mr Tselentakis afforded a level of professionalism and care that left my wife and I in no doubt that he would be able to successfully treat and repair the damage in our son’s knee. He carried out a procedure that delivered our collective expectation.  I had no hesitation when my second son experienced knee pain in taking him to see Mr Tselentakis. On the first occasion he advised a non-surgical programme of rehabilitation via physiotherapy which was not in his financial interest, but very much in the interest of treating the patient. This was successful in every respect, unfortunately my son did require a procedure on his other knee as a result of a later sporting injury. This too was promptly and successfully treated with a procedure which involved removal of the detached cartilage and a regeneration technique, we read about this “new technique’ some months later in a national newspaper, demonstrating that Mr Tselentakis is a leading surgeon practicing the very latest procedures. Both sons continue to play sport at a high level and we will always be grateful to Mr Tselentakis for the valuable part he played in this.”

“I experienced pain and discomfort in my left knee, I often played through the pain until it was clear to my Coach and Dad that I should be substituted, both and pain and being taken off were unbearable. I was referred by my GP to Mr Tselentakis, just as my brother had previously, I was confident he would be able to help me by providing the best advice and treatment.  An MRI Scan revealed that I have a small fracture in my left knee and the bone was being held in place by perfectly good cartilage. I just wanted the surgery so I could get back on the field as quickly as possible.  At the time Mr Tselentakis suggested that I rest from sports for 6 months and have physio involving an exercise and strengthening programme. His advice was to allow the bone to heal naturally. Eventually this injury stopped bothering me, now when I look back on this I am aware of how lucky I was to have a Surgeon who advised a non-surgical option, the long term benefit to me was his main concern. Mr Tselentakis provided me with wonderful care, accurate diagnosis and a treatment plan that has been a complete success.  Having moved away from football in favour of basketball, I thought that injuries were a thing of the past, how wrong I was!!"

“A fantastic success story I know I thanked you at the time and again when I finished my physio with Gill; but I am now writing to let you know, 2 years on, how successful the operation to the cruciate ligament on my right knee has been. I know age was not on my side for the procedure but with initial physio from gill, the encouragement from Roger and my determination to recover I am absolutely delighted to report that I am now fitter than i think i have ever been. We had a brilliant winter skiing. I am now able to run 5 km under 35 minutes, have been enjoying lots of strenuous walks in the Alps and back playing tennis. I would certainly recommend anyone to have the hamstring taken from the other leg as I had a harder time recovering from that than the cruciate operation and the hamstring still tightens up. Many thanks again for your help and advice. A fantastic success story for all concerned. There certainly was life left in the old dog! "
