Knee specialists in Bristol – meet our knee surgeons

Why see a Bristol knee specialist?

Knee pain can be debilitating. It can affect your ability to walk, exercise, and even sleep. If your knee pain is persistent and hasn’t improved with rest, medication, or physiotherapy, it might be time to see a knee specialist. These are experts trained to diagnose the root cause of your knee issues. They will also recommend the best treatment options available from non-surgical methods to knee surgery or even a knee replacement in Bristol.

How to find the best knee surgeons in Bristol

Bristol boasts a range of top-notch knee specialists. With this in mind, you have plenty of options to choose from. When choosing a knee surgeon, you should consider the following:

• Experience: Look for a specialist with extensive experience in treating knee conditions and performing knee surgeries. They should especially have expertise in the type of surgery you may need
• Reputation: Ask your GP for recommendations and read patient reviews. A specialist with a strong reputation for successful outcomes and patient care is always a good choice
• Consultation: A good knee specialist will take the time to discuss your symptoms, explain your treatment options, and answer any questions you have before knee surgery. They should make you feel comfortable and confident in your care plan.

Once your referral is dealt with, our friendly staff will book you in at our Emersons Green, Bristol hospital

• Book your surgery at a time and date that’s convenient for you – Depending on the type of treatment you need, from this point, the time until your actual surgery day will likely be between four and six weeks.
