Mr Kosuge was the surgeon for my total hip replacement at Rivers Hospital. He was both approachable and professional - he listened carefully to me and explained the options clearly. When, during our second meeting, I expressed some doubts about going ahead with the operation, he was kind and understanding and didn't try to convince me to go ahead, saying that it was my decision and that I should go with how I felt - and that I could cancel the operation if I wanted. I really appreciated this lack of pressure and after further thought I decided to proceed. On the day of the operation Mr Kosuge was reassuring and clear about what was going to happen and the surgery went well and according to plan. He had provided useful advice about how to ensure a good recovery and avoid problems post-surgery and he was quite emphatic about the importance of some details. I gathered that he is particularly careful about minimising the risks to patients of infection, DVT and dislocation, something I really respected. Overall it was a completely positive experience and I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Kosuge.

From the initial consultation Mr Kosuge made me feel at ease with the details about the operation and how it would be carried out. After the surgery, Mr Kosuge came into the ward and confirmed that everything had gone well and that I could go home within two days. The follow up appointment went very well and Mr Kosuge was very please with that I had progressed and a follow up appointment was booked for 12 months time to check my progress. I would totally recommend Mr Kosuge for surgery , He is a very kind and understanding man.

I had a hip replacement which has been successful. From the initial consultation to the final consultation Dennis Kosuge was always very good at listening and caring. His instructions were explicit and always gave explanations as to what was going to happen and what did happen. At all times I felt confident with the procedure I was going to go through.

Kept fully informed at each stage of treatment. I was dealt with in a friendly and approachable manner at all times.

Profile
Mr Kosuge developed his passion for Trauma & Orthopaedics as a junior doctor and pursued this by enrolling onto the North-East Thames Percival Pott Orthopaedic Training Programme. His training took him to prestigious centres including The Royal London Hospital, The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital and Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital. He was inspired by a number of his excellent trainers to focus on the subspecialty of hip and knee joint replacements.
Following completion of specialist training in the United Kingdom, he enrolled onto and successfully completed a one-year fellowship at the Royal Adelaide Hospital in Australia under the auspices of Professor Donald Howie. This fellowship allowed Mr Kosuge to refine his skills in hip and knee joint replacements, as well as revision hip replacements. During his orthopaedic training, he was the recipient of the British Orthopaedic Association (BOA) Zimmer Adult Reconstruction Hips and Knees Fellowship in 2014, the AOTrauma Fellowship in 2013 and the Tohoku University Orthopaedic Visiting Fellowship in 2010 – and utilised his time visiting, learning and exchanging ideas with centres of excellence in Japan.
