Robert Brazendale
Knee Arthroscopy at Spire Manchester Hospital, December 2025:
I would like to say that from start to finish with my knee problem, everything has been easy and very relaxed. Professor Jari from the first consult to being recently discharged explained everything and all options. I am happy with the outcome and have recommended Prof Jari to other people who are suffering with knee issues. Just a shame he hasn't got a time machine to make my knee younger!!

MAKO robotic-assisted total knee replacement at The Alexandra Hospital, July 2025:
I had a total knee replacement by Professor Jari at the Alexandra Hospital in July. I was treated with kindness and compassion throughout and I am delighted with the results. Six months later and my knee is pain free and has healed beautifully. I would have no hesitation in recommending Professor Jari and his team, they have been exceptional.

MAKO robotic-assisted total knee replacement at Spire Manchester Hospital, November 2025:
This is my second knee replacement under Professor Jari at Spire Hospital, and I am highly delighted with the result. I had my left knee replaced in 2021 and my right knee replaced in November 2025, both under Professor Jari using the MAKO Robotic Surgery technique. I understand Professor Jari has performed many knee replacements using this MAKO Robotic Surgery. I have had no issues with healing or infections following my surgery and the recovery is going very well. After just three weeks in recovery, I am no longer using crutches for support, and my Physiotherapist has signed me off as I have full mobility in my knee. Professor Jari does set a strict exercise programme which in my opinion is the key to full mobility and a quicker recovery time.
I would strongly recommend anyone who is thinking of having a Knee replacement to consider the MAKO Robotic Surgery under Professor Jari at the Spire Hospital. This surgery is more accurate, less painful and a quicker recovery time. I have friends who have had knee replacements done via a surgeon and they have taken much longer to recover and, in some cases, suffered issues following their surgery. I can only speak from my own experience, but both my knee replacements are perfect. The icing on the cake for me is Professor Jari has managed to straighten both my legs, so I am no longer bow legged, perfect!

Knee Arthroscopy at Spire Manchester Hospital, October 2025:
I recently had a right meniscus repair done by Professor Sanjiv Jari and I'm genuinely impressed. The whole process was smooth, straightforward, and he explained everything in a way that instantly put me at ease.
The best part? The recovery has been amazingly quick - my operated knee now feels better than my so-called "good" one. I didn't expect to be back on my feet so comfortably and so fast.
Professional, confident, and easy to talk to, I couldn't have asked for a better operation. If you need knee surgery, he's the person you want and worthy of the title 'The Knee Doc'.

n-STRIDE APS injection, January 2025:
I was fortunate to be given an n-STRIDE Injection by Professor Jari in January 25. He and the two nursing colleagues made me feel comfortable and reassured. They kept me informed of each step of the painless process, were friendly and kind and clear about potential side effects and importantly about how to look after my knee post infection. The injection has been life changing for me and almost a year later continues to be so. I am rarely in pain and am much more mobile. It enabled me to engage in intensive Physiotherapy that has resulted in my legs being much stronger and flexible so that I can walk in nature and the hills which I enjoy very much. This wouldn't have been possible without the injection.

Claire Clarke
MAKO Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Replacement at Spire Manchester Hospital, January 2025:
After suffering with pain for over five years, I finally made the life-changing decision to see Professor Jari for a knee replacement using the Mako robotic system — and it truly transformed my life.
The results were nothing short of remarkable. I was up and walking on the very same day of the surgery and discharged the following day. By three months post-op, I could already do more than I ever could before the surgery. Following his rehab programme was pivotal in my recovery. Now, eight months later, not only is my knee pain-free, but I've also lost 26kg, returned to the gym, and even started playing golf - things I never imagined doing just a year ago.
Professor Jari’s expertise, care, and the advanced Mako robotic technology have given me my life back. I can’t thank him enough for helping me regain my mobility, health, and confidence!

I have had excellent care before, during and after knee replacement surgery at the Spire Hospital in Didsbury. I am delighted with the results of the surgery performed by Professor Sanjiv Jari and also the aftercare provided by the physios and nursing staff.

Knee Arthroscopy at Spire Manchester Hospital, November 2024:
I have just returned from a week in the Lake District and enjoyed some pain-free fell walking. Also, I have reintroduced some jogging [or probably better described as fastish shuffling] into my exercise routine and so I wanted to say thank you very much for all your endeavours.

Michael Hurley
NHS Knee Arthroscopy at The Alexandra Hospital, April 2025:
My operation took place approx. 7 weeks ago as a day patient at the Alexandra hospital in Cheadle. From admission to discharge it ran like clockwork, patient care was second to none, as was my operation performed by Professor Jari and his theatre team, nurses and Anaesthetist. I have since been back to the Alexandra to carry on with rehabilitation via physiotherapy, I am pain free, gaining improved mobility day to day and back working. My only regret was not involving Professor Jari sooner hoping things would just improve, which they never do. To finish, I cannot recommend Professor Jari highly enough, he's a brilliant surgeon and a nice genuine guy who actually cares.
