Mr Gulati is a distinguished consultant orthopaedic surgeon renowned for his exceptional patient centred care and extensive expertise in managing the full spectrum of hip and knee conditions. He combines state of the art, modern, evidence based, proven technologies with an excellent bedside manner.
His particular expertise includes performing hip, knee and partial knee replacement surgery with a special interest in revision hip replacement. He has a particular interest in robotic knee replacement, custom made hip/knee replacement, complex hip/knee replacement and knee arthroscopy.
He additionally uses a range of biologic joint preservation treatments to treat patients with symptomatic joints such as arthrosamid, platelet rich plasma and hyaluronic acid. He has also contributed to the development of a young adult hip pathology service treating related conditions such as femoro-acetabular impingement and tendinopathies.
Mr Gulati strives to deliver patients the best possible outcomes by employing optimally timed evidence based treatments, tailored physiotherapy and enhanced recovery pathways. He will always seek to manage your condition with non operative treatments where possible using an exemplar multi-disciplinary team with some of London's most talented physiotherapists.
