Dr Sankaye is often asked to review scans that have already been reported elsewhere: by patients who are unsure about a result, by clinicians who want a specialist view, and by organisations resolving disputed reports. This work has given him a detailed understanding of how and why reporting errors happen, and it shapes how LSRI works: hearing each patient's story, planning each scan around the clinical question and reporting as a musculoskeletal specialist.

Independent expert reports on musculoskeletal imaging for personal injury and clinical negligence cases.

Incredible Consultant !
From the moment you meet Mr Prashant Sankaye you get a clear understanding of the length and breadth of his clinical expertise in the many areas of orthopaedic intervention.
He is uber informative and administers treatments with such precision it is literally painless and displays the experience Mr Sankaye has in his field.
On two separate occasions over the years I have been fortunate enough to have been under the care, treatment and assessment of Mr Prashant Sankaye for musculoskeletal interventions and on both occasions this clinician has literally changed my life.
I have seen many medical professionals during my life, but Mr Sankaye’s knowledge, understanding and ability is by far the most accurate and is certainly the bedrock of his incredible reputation. Therefore, I have absolutely no qualms about recommending this utterly superb Consultant to anyone who is suffering musculoskeletal pain to seek out his private clinic at St Mary’s Hospital - this is the link to finding a pain free life:
I went to see Dr Sankaye with little hope that treatment other than cortizone injections would help. It is now several weeks later and i am more than happy to say that not only did the injections not hurt a bit after a fairly long period, some weeks all pain has gone completely and for the first time in many months I do not have tennis elbow anymore.
My heartfelt thanks to Dr. Sankaye and also many thanks for the lovely way i was treated in his surgery.
I highly recommend him but please be a patient patient! It is not an overnight cure but takes a while!
Thank you Doctor very much indeed.
iWantGreatCare review · patient at St Mary's Hospital · 18 January 2018
Written when Dr Sankaye was a consultant at St Mary's Hospital (Imperial). He now sees patients at LSRI in Harley Street and Harrow.
Results vary from patient to patient, and no treatment works for everyone. Many of our patients are very happy with their care. This is one patient's own account.
Dr Prashant Sankaye, Consultant MSK Radiologist, sees patients at two clinics: Harley Street in central London and our Northwest London clinic in Harrow.
