I am a highly experienced Specialist Knee Surgeon, known nationally and internationally as a leader in knee replacement and knee injury surgery. I am one of the highest-volume knee surgeons in the country, having performed over 7,000 knee operations.
I have twice been included in the Daily Mail’s list of “Top Knee Surgeons in the UK” (2010 and 2018), as voted for by fellow knee surgeons. I am a past President of the British Association for Surgery of the Knee (BASK) and have written UK national practice guidelines for knee replacement and ACL injuries.
I am the senior knee surgeon at Southmead Hospital, North Bristol NHS Trust. My private practice is based at Spire Bristol, where I am a founding partner of the Knee Specialists group (kneespecialists.co.uk).
