About me

Ramon is an orthopaedic surgeon who specialises in treating conditions of the hand, wrist and elbow. Emphasis is always placed on listening to patients and developing a bespoke treatment plan for every individual. His practice includes:

Fractures of the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, humerus and clavicle
Sports injuries and rehabilitation
Keyhole surgery and minimally invasive techniques
Neurological conditions including nerve injury and entrapment
Ligament and tendon reconstruction
Arthritis of the hand and wrist including joint replacement surgery
Elbow fractures and soft tissue injuries
Clavicle fractures

Ramon's private practice is based exclusively across the various locations of Cleveland Clinic London. He sees private patients in Marylebone, Belgravia and Moorgate. He still practices as an NHS consultant at King's College Hospital London where he is involved in treating some of the capital's most seriously injured people. He is equally happy looking after the average person on the street, professional sports teams or treating elite level athletes.

He is also a dedicated teacher of hand surgery across the UK and Europe, has been an invited speaker at international conferences, and remains involved in writing, research and innovation.
