Services available:
London Knee Clinic® provides a comprehensive diagnostic service for problems involving the knees. X-rays are available at the time of your consultation and MRI scans can be arranged to take place on the same day.
Radiology and full laboratory diagnostic facilities are available at our clinic in the Shard.
Initial consultations are carried out by our Consultant Knee Specialist who works in association with a team of other clinicians including sports injury therapists, physiotherapists, nursing staff and in cases requiring surgery our network of Orthopaedic Consultants and Consultant Anaesthetists .
The main Operating Theatres are located within London Bridge Hospital, where patients are admitted either to the Day Surgery Unit or to one of the In-patient wards, depending on the type of operation at the discretion of the Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeons in our network.
Our Practice Manager will assist in making the necessary appointments and bookings. An appointment letter will either be emailed to you or posted once you have made the booking by phone. A questionnaire will accompany this to enable us to have a full picture of your history, diagnosis and symptoms.
In cases requiring surgery, pre-assessment prior to surgery is carried out by a team of Nurses employed by London Bridge Hospital who also undertake follow-up after surgery, for example, for wound dressings if necessary. They are also happy to answer any other queries you may have regarding your medical problems, procedure or stay.
