The Practice
Mr David George is a highly skilled Orthopaedic Surgeon, committed to staying up-to-date with the latest advancements in his field.
His goal is not only to provide professional diagnoses and individualised treatment plans, but also to prioritise prevention and help patients live better and healthier lives.
Training and Qualifications
Graduating from the University of Birmingham in 2009, Mr George pursued higher surgical training in London and was selected for the Specialist Registrar Orthopaedic training programme at Imperial College London. Mr George honed his skills at some of London's best hospitals, including the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore, and University College Hospital London.
Following the completion of his specialty training, Mr George dedicated an additional two years to Fellowship training, further refining his subspecialist expertise in hip and knee surgery. His time at the prestigious Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Oxford, and Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital in London added depth to his proficiency.

Whilst he takes every effort to explore non-surgical options with his patients, Mr George is able to offer procedures to treat cartilage, ligament and meniscal injuries of the knee, as well as addressing early and advanced osteoarthritis of the hip and knee. This includes partial and total knee replacements, robotic-assisted knee replacements, total hip replacements, and re-do (revision) joint replacements.
