Reviews
I had a left hip replacement performed by Mr. Dennis Kosuge in July of this year and cannot praise him highly enough, he put me at my ease at my first consultation with him, his professionalism and care was exemplary. I had a consultation with him seven weeks post surgery by which time I had discarded any walking aids and I was well on the way to recovery. His caring manner always left me feeling relaxed and I would not hesitate to recommend him.
he is an excellent surgeon and I would recommend him to anybody that was considering a knee replacement.He takes time to explain everything to you
A lovely man who took time to listen and explain things to me.
I have had two hip replacements by Denis Kosuge. These operations are considered to be major procedures but on both occasions I felt that I had had nothing more than minor intervention. This is pure due to the confidence given by Denis and the Rivers team before and after the procedure but the expertise of the surgery allowing minimal pain relief and no infections. I was given great advice such that I was able to manage my recovery very well.
I cannot think of anything that he could have done better on any of the appointments or on the day of surgery.
He has all the information relating to the procedure (hip replacement) on his website which was easy to access and answered any questions I had.
The surgery went well, no pain during or afterwards (with the standard pain killers). Left with a neat scar.
Physio went really well, I was able to do all the prescribed exercises.
On my post operative examination after seven weeks, everything was OK, and he remembered and examined my knee which was also giving me problems and advised on that, I didn't have to ask.

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.
