Firstly, I wish to explain my current circumstances; I am 'shielded' under the NHS guidelines. My computer skills limited, to the extent I am not familiar with video communication and therefore needed guidance to conduct the consultation. Mr. Sood put me perfectly at ease, so that at the end, any anxiety had gone and I cannot express my thanks great enough for his patience, and thoroughness from beginning to end. Also, I would like to express my thank to Debbie Holden, his PA for assisting me dealing with the GP practice, my insurers Benenden and supporting me throughout.

The procedure was a full hip replacement due to arthritis that had been painful for a number of years. I felt that there was a clear explanation of what to expect (the risks and benefits) and the approach created reassurance and trust in the level of skill and professionalism. Recovery has been rapid and without complications.

He treats all lower limb sports injuries and tendon pain, particularly tendinopathies. He also has considerable expertise in knee arthroscopy, ACL reconstruction, cartilage regeneration procedures, and hip and knee replacement (including revision and complex cases).

He is proud to have been awarded both the Top Doctors Certificate of Excellence for his patient ratings in 2020 and the iWantGreatCare Certificate of Excellence in 2021 for delivering outstanding care. He has also been recognised by his NHS Trust by the award of 3 Clinical Excellence awards

Mr Sood is a firm believer in preserving native joints (joint preservation) by reconstructing joint damage using cartilage regeneration techniques and biological therapies. He is also, however, an expert hip and knee joint replacement surgeon where arthritis is too advance for joint preservation. His data from The National Joint Registry shows that he has excellent patient outcomes and a very low risk of complications.

Mr Sood has excellent communication skills and provides his patients with jargon-free explanations about their problems. He assesses his patients very carefully and organises specialist scans when needed to arrive at an accurate diagnosis. He only works with a very select team of specialist radiologists to ensure high quality scan interpretation. After diagnosis he provides a clear individualised treatment plan to his patients that considers their individual circumstances and their exercise/activity goals. He provides a wide range of treatment choices suited to each patient, including non-surgical options.

His extensive experience allows him to diagnose and treat more rare conditions, and he is often sought out to provide second opinions. In his referral practice, he manages the most complex and challenging cases such as hip and knee replacements that have failed and must be redone. Mr Sood runs a hip and knee unit at Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and has earned three Clinical Excellence Awards for his work.

Mr Sood treats all lower limb Sports injuries in athletes and weekend warriors and also has an interest in the treatment of Tendon Pain especially Tendinopathies.
