The Leeds Knee Fellowship is a highly regarded programme by BASK where Mr Iqbal gained an understanding of a variety of knee conditions and their management. The Golden Jubilee University National Hospital Glasgow, where he completed the Lower Limb Arthroplasty Fellowship is the highest volume arthroplasty unit in the UK, where computer assisted and robotic surgery is also performed.

  I’ve recently just had a ACL reconstruction surgery at Elanic, the waiting time with the NHS at the moment was almost 3 years for the same surgery, Elanic were able to do it within 4 weeks of my first consultation the staff were brilliant with me from the DR duray who did my procedure to the staff at the front desk and the nurses that looked after me over night, they couldn’t have been more helpful, very responsive when I have need to check up with them over the phone and so helpful. Would recommend to anyone in need of surgery, they have been a joy to work with.

  I requested information about gynaecology services. Graham, my first-line point of contact, couldn’t have been more helpful. He provided very prompt and comprehensive information. A great first impression of Elanic.

  I just had my breast augmentation surgery and I have very positive experiences with Elanic. Kimberley the nurse is an angel, she took care of me from the very beginning and walked me to the door after my surgery , she is very nice and professional, thanks to you Kimberley I stopped stressing. The surgeon, anaesthetist and nurses who looked after me that day were all very professional and nice. The clinic has a lovely and very professional team and has really changed my life for the better.

  I had surgical treatment for a hernia. The whole experience was perfect from start to finish. Very clear communication, kind and caring staff, and impressive surgeon and anaesthetist. Good after-op care as well. Competitively priced.
