I was referred to Paul Jairaj, Consultant Hip and Knee Surgeon practising at London Bridge Hospital, by the physio clinic I was attending in Sevenoaks. He first carried out a very successful replacement right knee operation in 2016, and then in 2018, following the development of a very painful right hip, a replacement hip operation. Paul has proved to be a top notch surgeon. He is delightfully personable and instils complete confidence. I have been so pleased with the surgery he has done for me. I am completely back to full fitness.

I first met Paul Jairaj eight years ago when he was recommended to me by a friend.

I had been a professional ballet dancer with The Royal Ballet for 22 years and been teaching and coaching one on one for 7 years when the pain in my right hip became unbearable to a point where I could no longer function even as a non dancer.

Having never experienced an injury or surgery it was incredibly daunting and I was so scared but Paul was so unbelievably reassuring and so confident in the outcome he could and would provide that my trust in him was instantaneous.

After my surgery, which was not under general anaesthetic, he was very present in my recovery and three days later I left the hospital on one crutch. Three weeks later I was in the studio teaching. Yes I had to sit down and I wasn’t exactly demonstrating but I also wasn’t limited in my movement. No one believed I would achieve this except Paul.

I followed his very specific recovery notes and 6 weeks later at a post op check I was standing on one leg and bending and rising on balance. There were no hiccups in my recovery and I went on to be able to fully demonstrate to my students.

Fast forward to 2025 and the left hip was now unbearable. Truthfully it had been frightening in its decay. Impossible to organise another operation due to being self employed I had to make it last so I went fully into a non processed food diet that reduced inflammation. This totally worked and lessened the pain as I prepared for my left hip surgery.

There was no way anyone other than Paul would be doing this. My utter trust in him and his team made the whole procedure nothing short of amazing. I was even able to keep this a secret from our son who had recently started university because I was in and out of surgery so quickly and three days later back home. My scar wasn’t even stitched it was glued!

24hrs after my hip operation I was able to lift my knee to almost 90 degrees. 7 days after surgery I was eating in a restaurant ( bit swollen but still in a restaurant!) and I could walk with my crutches so easily.

I followed everything Paul recommended, I did all of my exercises, plus Pilates under instruction everyday and I rested, I ate the correct foods however it’s Paul’s absolute confidence in what he can do that has restored my mobility and given me my life and livelihood back. My new hips are bespoke to me. This innovative, unique and holistic approach to hip surgery that Paul provides gets extremely successful results.

Three weeks post surgery, aged 55, I was teaching in a studio again. Three months and I’m demonstrating again…perhaps not full turnout but moving quickly and able to jump!

Paul has a passion for what he does. He has a special gift, a vocation. He cares. It’s evidenced by the results he achieves.

He is simply the best.

Amazing the way they treat you, very friendly, educated and responsive. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend Dr Paul and his team. He took time to discuss my condition. The options were clearly explained to me and I was supported to make a decision that I was comfortable with. His whole team is about quality of patient experience – from his supporting technician/nurse, patient liaison and the anesthetist that he works with. It was incredibly helpful to directly liaise with the team through his patient liaison. Follow up is excellent. Dr Paul has an exceptional demeanor – incredibly patient and always willing to answer questions.

Had a very good experience with Dr. Paul Jairaj throughout my treatment and recovery. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly.

Special thanks as well to Nurse Chris and Coordinator Haleel for being very supportive, responsive, and helpful during the entire process. After my ACL reconstruction surgery, the ongoing care and follow-up have been exceptional.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Thank you and appreciation to the very respected and expert doctor. After the operation, there was no severe pain thanks to the doctor’s expertise.

I was referred to see Dr Paul Jairaj in January for a second opinion on my hip. From the point of referral, the service has been exceptional at every touchpoint.

The team coordinator, Haleel, is incredibly welcoming and efficient, ensuring communication is clear and consistent, with appointments and information arranged and shared in a very timely manner.

The team nurse, Chris, has also been very welcoming, as well as helpful and informative in supporting my care and treatment at every appointment.

As for Dr Jairaj, I am truly grateful to have been referred to him for a second opinion. I had felt very deflated, unheard, and without resolution following previous encounters with medical professionals regarding my case.

However, Dr Jairaj changed that from the moment I met him. His level of detail and expertise is exceptional, combined with a genuinely patient-centred approach focused on doing what is right. I’m fascinated by his skill and techniques, and would go as far as to say he is a magician at what he does!

I have felt in the very best hands with this entire team, and they have made my experience five-star from end to end. I actually look forward to my appointments because I know I will come away one step closer – and better informed – to getting back to my best self, all thanks to the care and professionalism of this outstanding team. 🙏

I would highly recommend them to anyone who is seeking the best help for any hip or knee issues.

I recently underwent a knee arthroscopy for a meniscus tear, and I am absolutely thrilled to give my highest possible recommendation to Dr. Paul Jairaj and his entire surgical team.

From the initial consultation to the post-operative follow-up, the level of care and professionalism was exceptional.

At the Consultation after the MRI,

Dr. Paul took the time to explain the MRI results in detail, using clear language that helped me understand the extent of the tear. He walked me through the arthroscopic procedure, the expected outcomes, and the recovery timeline.

On the day of the procedure, the surgical team – including the anesthesiologist and nursing staff especially Nurse Chris, was incredibly efficient and kind.

The surgery was a success, and the incisions are remarkably small and healing perfectly. The post-op instructions were clear, and the office which is handled by the very efficient, kind and patient Mr Haleel, was very responsive whenever I had any kind of questions before my surgery as well as during my recovery period.

At the 2 week follow up appointment, Dr Paul personally showed me all the videos of the surgery explaining each video and each procedure in detail.

If you are looking for a highly skilled orthopedic surgeon who combines technical expertise with compassion, look no further. Thank you to Dr. Paul Jairaj and the team for getting me back on my feet!

Dr. Paul is a highly knowledgeable doctor who not only fixed my knee but genuinely improved my quality of life. He was precise and attentive, and was able to identify and repair my meniscus even though the issue did not clearly show on the MRI.

The surgery itself was quick and smooth, and I was able to move right after the procedure, which was very reassuring. The wound was extremely neat and clean, with no visible stitches apart from a few tiny knots away from the incision – This is a remarkable level of precision and attention to detail.

My recovery has been surprisingly easy. The overall experience has taken away much of my fear around movement and daily activity, and has given me the confidence to return to the things I enjoy – improving my skiing, getting back to jogging, and staying active.

I truly appreciate the team’s efficiency and professionalism in coordinating both the surgery and the insurance process—something that can often be quite complex. It is their experience and patience made the entire journey effortless.

Overall, an excellent experience. He is my knee dr for life.
