Recommendations for Mr Ajuied

These recommendations are for information purposes only. Doctors providing recommendations do so in good faith and are not responsible for clinical outcomes.

Recommended by:

  • byDr Lisa Michelle Hyland, GP

    Mr Ajuied was recommended to me from a medical colleague after I had a disastrous time with an orthopaedic surgeon who wanted to operate on my knee. After a thorough clinical examination Mr Ajuied advised I did not need surgery but would require intensive physiotherapy. He reviewed my MRI images and re-iterated this. I am very happy to report that my knee is far better. Given that he is an orthopaedic surgeon the fact he advised against surgery shows what a remarkable clinician he is.

  • byDr Catherine Joy Otty, GP

    Mr Ajuied has treated several of our patients who were all very pleased. Now I too am a patient of his. He was very professional, knowledgeable and reassuring, but also friendly and welcoming. The organisation of appointments was very easy, via his efficient secretary Emma, and prompt communication back was by e mail and letter, to both patient and referring doctor.
