Conditions We Treat
Knee Arthiritis
Osteoarthritis is when the smooth surface of joint cartilage wears away to expose the underlying bone. It often causes joint swelling and stiffness.
Knee Replacement
Knee replacement surgery is advised when severe pain, stiffness, and limited mobility no longer improve with conservative treatments.
Meniscal Injuries
Meniscal injuries, common in active people and athletes, often cause pain, swelling, and limited knee movement after twists or impacts.

I Have had knee problems for a number of years i was given the chance to have a knee replacement on my left leg Mr Bokhari and his team carried out the operation on the 16th of October 2025 A Very Big thank to him and his team it was one of the worst knees he had seen the result was Fantastic i really can not thank him enough to see him again 4 weeks later and i really can not belive the improvement it as made to my life my advice keep up the physio and keep doing the exercises as instructed its a small word but THANKS keep up the good work.
Mr Bokhari was truly wonderful from the first consultation ,he listened to me ,fully understood my concerns and he explained everything in the most caring and professional manner .He explained fully what i needed to do pre op and from there on in i immediately had faith and utmost trust in him.I had total knee replacement surgery and it went extremely well , i couldnt ask for anyone any better to have done my surgery me and my wife would highly recommend Mr Bokhari and cannot thank him enough.
My initial consultation with Mr Bokhari for osteoarthritis of the knee was really informative. I had previously seen a consultant within the private sector who had diagnosed severe osteoarthritis throughout the joint. Mr Bokhari explained how my X-Ray told quite a different story. He listened to what I had to say and offered to explore an alternative to a full knee replacement. Mr Bokhari has a pleasant bed-side manner and is very knowledgeable about his specialism.
I had a total knee replacement 7 weeks ago with Mr Bokhari, I cannot thank him enough, I am now getting my life back. Mr Bokhari was professional in his care before and after surgery, he explained everything the operation entailed and what I needed to do to aid my recovery. I am now walking unaided without a limp and no pain and now looking forward to the future. I am so grateful to Mr Bokhari and I highly recommend him to anyone needing a knee replacement. Thanks again Diane.
I had a knee replacement at the end of November, Mr Bokhari kept me fully informed of the procedure and put my mind at ease. Mr Bokhari came to see me after the surgery to explain how the operation went, the fact that my knee was a lot worse than what he thought but all the time his main priority was my care. The surgery he performed was first class, and the wound healed fantastically. I am 74 and I was walking without crutches after 2 weeks. I would highly recommend him.
