On May 28 I had knee arthroscopic surgery at the Alexander hospital in Cheadle, by Professor Jari. When I went for my appointment with him he explained everything to me and what to expect, I found him to be a caring, and understanding person,

And with my physiotherapy following the procedure, I can now do the things I enjoy.

I cannot thank Professor Jari. enough for what he has done. I have no hesitation in recommending Professor Jari. and the healthcare and physiotherapy team at Alexander Hospital.

to anyone who is experiencing problems with their knees and should I ever need knee surgery again he would be the consultant I would want to go to.

Wonderful to be playing golf again only four weeks after my arthroscopy. Almost back to normal having followed all the advice regarding physio, exercise, ice etc. I have complete confidence in Professor Jari and the team of professionals looking after me and know I can get support at any stage if I need it

I am extremely happy with my recent knee surgery (knee arthroscopy) by Professor Jari at the Alexander Hospital in Cheadle. I was in a lot of discomforts before my operation and amazed at the speed of my recovery. I am already back in the gym, under strict supervision, and enjoying my active life again.

I can’t thank you enough, my stay was such a positive experience, not a usual response to a hospital stay.

Professor Jari performed my ACL reconstruction in August of 2017. I am about to begin my 2nd season of rugby since my surgery.

From last October I played 70-80 minutes of nearly every game (other little knocks depending). I worked my way up from 4th XV to 2nd XV by the end of the season. In addition to this I have also climbed Ben Nevis, Helvellyn and walked Hadrian’s Wall.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could pass this message of thanks on to Professor Jari.

At the end of January this year I had a knee replacement operation at the Alexandra Hospital, performed by Professor Jari. the care and treatment I received from Professor Jari and the staff at the Alexandra Hospital was second to none. the follow up care by Professor Jari was excellent and I am extremely happy with the result and I would have no hesitation in recommending Professor Jari to anyone who needed similar treatment to myself.

After many years of progressive knee pain due to arthritis and wear and tear I was referred to see Professor Jari (The Knee Doc) at the Spire Hospital Didsbury.

After several consultations, he gave me several options to consider the outcome was that I needed a total knee replacement.

Never having had surgery and approaching 70 years of age I was understandably nervous.

Professor Jari took the time to fully explain the procedure from start to finish alleviating any worries I had.

On the day of the operation, I was told I was going to have a Spinal block,

once again all procedures were clearly explained to me.

On waking from the operation my care could not have been better with everything arranged to aid my recovery.

The whole team was excellent as was Liz in physiotherapy.

I would like to thank Professor Jari for his skill and professionalism and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing knee surgery.

Special thanks to Claire the practice manager who went above and beyond to help and make sure everything went perfect for me.

Kind regards,

Ruth Elliott

Would I have another knee replacement if one was necessary, in a heartbeat, and I would want Professor Jari to do it.

The thought of a stay in hospital made me a little anxious, but the experience was fine, as I was guided and informed every step of the way, clearly and pleasantly.

when I saw Professor Jari at my final clinic appointment, he asked me how I was feeling, my reply was “fantastic”.

I can’t think him enough for his expertise, he’s a great surgeon.

Thank you so much,

After many months of physio, I self-referred to the Knee Doctor. An initial appointment was received within weeks and scans & x-rays followed. Once Professor Jari had a plan to put to me. After suffering from knee issues for 25 years post-rugby I opted for surgery. The whole process was very smooth and I was in the Manchester Spire hospital day surgery within weeks.

I am now four weeks post-surgery and nearly mended fully. I am pain-free and back in the gym; something I haven’t done in a while.

I have seen Professor Jari over the years for the management of various knee problems as I have continued to play 11 aside amateur football into my mid 40’s. December 2018 he repaired my cartilage and gave my left knee a ‘clean up’ as this knee had previous ACL reconstruction. 12 weeks post operation I was back in training and played competitively inside 4 months for Styal Football Club in the Mid Cheshire football league.

As part of the process, he recommended injection therapy using Hyaluronic Acid which was explained as helpful for the early stages of arthritis under the knee cap. I had 5 painless injections and my mobility and strength feel significantly improved. I have noticed the ability to squat and lunge far better than before as my overall my range of movement feels improved and the knee feels as good as I have felt.

Whilst noting it is likely time to start slowing down from competitive sport to avoid issues in my 50s, Professor Jari appreciated this remains an important part of my life and prescribed an appropriate course of action that I have been delighted with. As ever Claire has been supportive and provided impeccable care. I intend to have further injections in my other knee to help mobility there too as part of my build up for a masters football competition in Mexico this summer.

Thank you, Professor Jari and team, and for anyone looking for a Knee specialist I would highly recommend seeing The Knee Doc!
