Reviews
Mr Dennis Kosuge, performed my hip operation at The Princess Alexandra’s Hospital at Harlow Essex.
I had seen him in clinic prior to the operation. He explained exactly what the operation would entail. What I could expect from it . I was admitted on the 14 th of November 2023 . I had previously had a pre med and seen physios and occupational health and was given the equipment and advise I needed
The operation went very smoothly , Mr Kosurge his registrar and the anaesthetist all came to see me prior to the procedure . They were all very kind and reassuring.
I was back in the ward about 3pm . The physios got me out of bed at about 5:30 .
Everything was fine . Mr kosuge and his registrar came about 7 pm to check on me
I went home the next day. I was most impressed with all the staff on the ward so kind and professional.
I was dealt with very well by every on.
My one complaint was I had to wait a long time for the operation!!
I was really pleased in the way that I was put at ease and really well informed at the initial consultation
All the staff at the hospital were really caring and efficient
The operation was carried out with perfect efficiency and I didn’t feel a thing
Within 2 hours it was completed and the feeling in my legs started to return
Although there is a good deal of discomfort after major surgery, I was able ( and encouraged) to walk with the use of a walking frame within a couple of hours. The old joint pain had gone.
On the same afternoon Mr Cosuge visited my bedside and asked if all was well
Having followed all the instructions regarding exercise and precautions ,the recovery was perfect.
I could feel that each day I was able to do more with less discomfort
I was really pleased with the entire experience including the final consultation 7 weeks after the operation
Thank you so much for everything
I would highly recommend Mr Kosuge he looked after me from the first consultation until after my hip operation, he was always kind and reassuring and took time to explain the whole procedure from start to finish.
Mr Kosuge’s enthusiasm and engagement at my first consultation carried on all the way through my operation and to my post operation follow up appointment. He made me feel very comfortable and answered all questions with clear and concise explanation. Any worries that I had, I was put at ease with his honest replies.
He is very knowledgeable, easy to talk to, gives advice and answers questions . He is also a very good surgeon judging by my knee replacement.

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.
