About me
I am a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in hip and knee surgery, including primary joint replacements, complex revision procedures and metal?on?metal hip revisions. I perform around 450 hip and knee replacements each year, giving me extensive experience in both straightforward and complex cases. I also provide knee arthroscopy for meniscal tears and cartilage problems, as well as hip and knee injections, which can often be carried out during the same appointment to offer fast, effective pain relief.
I hold regular clinics for Bupa patients at Nuffield Health Tees Hospital and Nuffield Health York Hospital with my aim being to give patients a clear understanding of what is going on and what can be done about it. My private practice is managed by my wife Joanne, who provides exceptional customer service and can often arrange appointments at short notice. Alternatively, you can make an online booking directly from the Nuffield Hospital website.
My medical training began at Charing Cross & Westminster Medical School and I graduated in 1995. I completed specialist orthopaedic training across the North East and went on to a prestigious fellowship in the Edinburgh Lower Limb Reconstruction Unit, working alongside some of the UK's leading joint reconstruction surgeons. My academic work includes significant research in Birmingham hip resurfacing, with publications in respected orthopaedic journals and presentations at national conferences. I have also appeared on Channel 4's Dispatches for my expertise in metal?on?metal hip findings.
