Vasudev Shanbhag
Mr. Vasudev Shanbhag is a specialist trained in the diagnosis and management of hand and wrist disorders & peripheral nerve disorders.
His background training is Orthopaedic and Trauma surgery.
With over two decades of experience, he provides high quality care for patients in Newport and from the Hereford, Brecon, Powys, Monmouthshire, Gwent and Cardiff areas.
I believe that each patient and their condition is unique and I will take the time to thoroughly assess your condition. The aim of any consultation is to help you to understand your diagnosis completely and it will include a thorough examination and if necessary appropriate investigations and tests.
I aim to inform you of all available treatment options including non-surgical management, sign posting to appropriate diagnostic investigations and hand therapy if indicated. I believe in a shared decision-making process with my patient to determine if any operative intervention is indicated after exploring all non-operative options.
