Mr Tim Waters is a consultant orthopaedic surgeon with a specialist interest in hips and knees. He received specialist orthopaedic training at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore. He subsequently spent a year in Australia on the Sydney Hip and Knee Surgeons' international fellowship.
Mr Waters provides a specialist trauma and orthopaedic service at West Herts Hospitals NHS Trust, operating at Watford and St. Albans Hospitals. His practice focuses specifically on complex orthopaedic surgery. He receives referrals from colleagues and consultants from other hospitals for the management of difficult cases, particularly problems with previous hip and knee replacement surgery.
At Spire Bushey Mr Waters sees and treats many orthopaedic conditions and fractures. His sub-speciality interests are hip and knee surgery including knee and hip replacement, partial knee replacement, arthroscopy (keyhole surgery), ligament reconstruction, osteotomy (knee re-alignment), hip resurfacing, complex revision joint replacements and Visionaire knee replacement surgery.
Mr Waters takes a holistic approach to his practice and ensures he takes the time to explain things clearly in easy to understand terms and allows plenty of time for patients to ask questions and discuss concerns. This allows patients to make the best treatment decisions.
He is involved in research looking into the life-span of hip and knee replacements and the design of new implants. He continues to publish and present research at international meetings.
