About me
Mr Andrew Wheelton is a UK-trained Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in hip and knee surgery. His expertise includes minimally invasive joint replacement, partial knee replacement, and advanced day-case joint replacement techniques designed to reduce pain and swelling and speed recovery.
