Our private orthopaedic clinic in London is built around clinical excellence, experienced consultants and patient-centred care. Each consultant and surgeon brings extensive expertise in diagnosing and treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, ensuring you receive an accurate assessment and evidence-based treatment.
We provide coordinated care from consultation through to recovery, supported by modern facilities and dedicated nursing teams within our hospital. Whether you require specialist advice, non-surgical treatment or orthopaedic surgery, our focus is on delivering safe, effective care in a calm and supportive environment.
At your appointment, the consultant will take a full history of your symptoms, perform a physical examination, and may arrange imaging such as X-rays or MRI scans. The aim is to diagnose the issue clearly and recommend a personalised treatment plan – whether that’s physiotherapy, injection therapy, or surgery.
The most common orthopaedic surgeries in the UK include knee replacement, hip replacement, and carpal tunnel release. These procedures are often carried out to relieve chronic pain, restore mobility, and improve quality of life when other treatments haven’t worked.
Initial consultations typically last between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the complexity of your symptoms. This includes time to discuss your concerns, carry out a physical assessment, and, if needed, arrange further investigations.
Orthopaedics covers many areas such as hips, knees, shoulders, spine, hands and sports injuries and seeing the right specialist helps ensure accurate diagnosis and the most effective treatment. You can choose to see an orthopaedic consultant, but it is important to select one who specialises in the specific body part or condition you need treated, such as the hip, knee, shoulder, spine, elbow or hand.
We will help match you with the most appropriate specialist to ensure you receive the right care first time.
