Mr Arpit Patel

Professional summary

Mr Patel is a Consultant Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgeon, GMC number 4503473, with over 25 years' experience. His private practice locations include Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital and Circle Reading Hospital.

Patients can enquire about hip and knee conditions, sports injuries, arthritis, selected hand conditions, PRP or MFAT assessment and second opinions. A consultation is intended to provide a clear explanation, individualised advice and an honest discussion of uncertainty.

His stated approach is personalised and proactive: understanding each patient's priorities, considering likely sources of symptoms and creating a sensible plan before treatment decisions are made.

Surgical and non-surgical approach

Mr Patel's approach is to assess the patient, review imaging where clinically appropriate and discuss reasonable options. Treatment may include reassurance, physiotherapy, medicines, selected injections, surgery or onward referral depending on the findings. PRP and MFAT require a condition-specific discussion of limited or uncertain evidence and are not suitable for every patient.

Patient-centred philosophy

The aim is to help patients understand what is likely to be causing their symptoms, what treatment options may be appropriate and what risks or limitations should be considered before making a decision. A proactive consultation can also help patients prepare for the next step, whether that involves monitoring, rehabilitation, injections, surgery, further imaging or onward referral.
