Vivek Gulati ; Hip and Knee Surgeon Omdömen 

I am pleased to report that Dr Gulati successfully performed my recent hip replacement surgery. Before the operation, I took lots of strong painkillers daily and was miserable, but now I have a new lease on life. Dr Gulati was proactive and knowledgeable, caring, attentive, and considerate. I would recommend him to anyone needing the same or similar treatment.

My total hip replacement.

I asked for a referral to The Homerton in November 2021 and saw Vivek Gulati. I'd heard great things about the Trauma and Orthopaedic team and was not disappointed. From the first meeting to my total hip replacement on August 31st of this year (2022) I have experienced a Gold standard in both pre and post care. The communication was first class and I felt listened to and treated with utmost dignity at all stages of being Mr. Gulati's patient. I can't thank him and his team enough and got my 6 week check up today and feel great. I'll be back to get a knee replacement next year and won't be worried at all about the procedure. All staff at The Homerton are just so polite, caring and fully engaged with patients. Post op care via a referral by Ward 2012 staff to Waltham Forest NELF team has also been first rate. An all round excellent experience. I have conveyed my thoughts to the Patient Experience team at the Homerton Trust as I believe that great service delivery should be recognised and I really hope they take the time to congratulate their dedicated staff.

I had a knee replacement on 5th May and I could not have been in better hands I was treated with kindness and respect from start to finish by him and his team, my knee is feeling really good and won't hesitate to get the other one done by Mr. Gulati.

I recommend Dr Gulati without reservation. I hurt my knee in 2018 and after 3 years of pain I finally got a chance to see an orthopaedic and very fortunately it was Dr Gulati that I saw. He diagnosed me quickly and detailed the options I had. I went for a microfracture operation as recommended as it is the procedure that will most likely solve the issue.

The operation went very smoothly and if anything, the needle holes in my hands for the drip hurt more than the actual openings made in my knee. My recovery has been very good as well, no substantial swelling or any complication. I am 10 weeks on from surgery and I am already doing some light exercises. In fact I was off crutches and brace after 4 weeks when usually it should be 6 weeks minimum for being on crutches.

Can be happier and looking forward to being active again. All this was possible because of Dr Gulati.

Mr Gulati is professional caring and kind he explains in detail and makes you feel at ease

I would recommend Mr Gulati a 100% I am looking forward to my treatment resuming with him

Had knee surgery in March 2021from Dr Gulati. After waiting months on a knee brace he fast tracked my surgery date as I was in a lot of pain for a very long time,with a lot of damage in my knee. Great doctor glad to have been sorted out now.

Vivek Gulati Orthopaedic surgeon replaced my total right knee in 2019. And it has changed my life. He was amazing from start to finish and I am grateful that he did the surgery as he is very caring and considerate and would recommend him highly.

I was introduced to Vivek Gulati January 2020 when I was very distressed during a chaotic Homerton hospital appointment. He reassured me,promising hip replacement surgery in approximately 8 weeks. Unfortunately the pandemic put an end to any appointments from April onwards so I was virtually crippled..In September I was examined by Muhammad Ali (registrar).Suddenly I was asked if I would like to be admitted to The London Independent for surgery by Mr Gulati and his team..He was kind and gentle and made sure I understood everything about the procedure and aftercare. So I can't thank him enough for his continued support even though it's through phone conversations...A BIG thank you...

very helpful and friendly, plus very understanding doctor.

I was in severe pain for years and taking constant pain killers .I was referred to Mr Gulati and it was decided I needed a hip replacement.He is the most kind and caring doctor I have met.The procedure was a huge success and I recovered quickly due to the excellent treatment from Dr Gulati and team at the Homerton.I feel very fortunate to have had him for my procedure and recommend him highly.If you are lucky enough to have Dr Gulati to do your replacement you are in the best hands.I am now totally pain free which is incredible after years of pain.
Thanks a million Mr Gulati

Excellent in every way- the surgery, listening, organising tests,communication. Etc

I have bad pain over a year seen many drs now recieved a consultation call from surgeon dr gulati and he is extremly caring and explained the promblem really clearly and reassuring . He calmed me and really cared thank you dr samuel

I was referred to Mr Gulati over two years ago with persistent hip pain which was diagnosed as Bursitis for which I received a course of steroid injections. During the course of my treatment it became apparent that the opposite knee was is dire need of replacement and may have been the cause of the hip pain in the first place due to poor alignment. Because I had a femoral nail in place from an old fractured femur I had to have a different type of replacement knee. The op was very successful and I completed all the physio as prescribed. I was kept informed throughout my treatment and my questions and concerns were fully answered. I am an exercise instructor so it was important to be able to regain full mobility and strength which I did. However within 9-months my hip problem flared up again and I was scheduled for another injection. Mr Gulati intervened having seen my recent x-rays and discussed a full replacement with me as a better option to which I agreed. I received the operation just prior to the November lockdown and cannot fault the treatment that I had. The surgeons, anaesthetist, the support staff, nurses and physio's were all very professional, caring and informative. I am now completely pain free but still working on developing full strength. Thank you Mr Gulati and all involved in my treatments. If you are worried about having your hip or knee replaced, I can fully recommend Mr Gulati and his team.

I was referred to Mr Vivek Gulati by my GP due to persistent right hip pain which radiated down to the top of my right foot. He conducted an excellent assessment and arrived at a diagnosis of hip ball and socket joint inflammation which required treatment by injection into the inflamed joint. On a scale of 0-10 my discomfort is now down to 2 from 10 and improving with accompanying specific hip exercises. His demeanour and overall treatment was excellent and helped to put my mind at rest and now I’m on my way to hopefully a full recovery (I must emphasize that I haven’t needed a single pain-killer since my procedure and hopefully I won’t require any)
A Million Thanks Mr Gulati

I meet mr Gulati 12 months after my hip replacement surgery because I had severe pain. He made sure I take all the test possible in order to make sure there is nothing wrong with my implant, my tisue or my muscle. He also asked me to do a blood test. He realy made me feel on good hands. Thank you!

Had my initial consultation with Vivek regarding a painful hip. As a Personal trainer with an interest in injuries I was keen to get some answers about my symptoms short term but also long term. I’m really pleased with how the consultation went and what the plan of action is.

Very good service, knowledgeable doctor. Would recommend.

I know Mr Gulati personally and professionally. He has been kind enough to see a lot of my physiotherapy clients with fantastic results and they have had nothing but raving reviews about his attention to detail and care. He gives such clear advice too and I particularly love how his practice is very much patient-centered.

He is a big champion of physiotherapy and very open to working closely together to ensure great communication for the benefit of our mutual clients.

I have also seen Mr Gulati as a patient myself with a painful hip. I can definitely confirm his expertise is second to none. More than just a hip & knee surgeon, he truly cares about the patient journey and experience. My hip has never been better. He most definitely comes highly recommended.

I know Mr. Vivek Gulati as a colleague and I see the result of his skills on a weekly basis. I can say that he is one of the best hip & knee surgeons I have met. He is trained in the most up to date techniques. His patient reviews are excellent. Staff members seek his advice on their knee and hip problems.

I recently had a full knee replacement at the London Independent Hospital under Mr Gulati and want to thank him and his amazing Team from the cleaning staff, kitchen staff, healthcare assistants, nurses and operating team, the anaesthetist and Mr Gulati himself for the most kind, caring and professional treatment whilst there. My recovery is well underway and I'm confident it will be full and speedy due to their onward recovery programme. I would highly recommend the services of Mr Gulati and his team.
