After suffering with significant discomfort for 18 months following emergency surgery for a hip fracture in another country whilst on holiday, I asked Mr Sood to remove the various screws that had been inserted into my hip. Although my surgical requirement was relatively straightforward (and seems to have sorted out the issues I was having), Mr Sood's approach from his initial examination of the area, to our post-operative appointment, was thorough, positive and business-like, but also warm and positive. He was clear about what he was going to do, and equally clear and firm about what I was to do (and not to do!) after the procedure. I had every confidence that he would do a good job, and would happily recommend him to other patients. His choice of anaesthetist, who was also excellent, added to what was a quick but successful experience for me and my wife.

There is nothing I can find fault with. The process was carried out very efficiently and with care.

Having suffered from pain and discomfort for about 5 years which affected my mobility and undertaking day to day activities my GP advised that I should have a hip X-ray. The results showed osteoarthritis and severe wear and tear of my right hip. I had always been an active person and exercised, swam and walked a lot. The diagnosis was a total hip replacement I felt devastated but my mobility was greatly affected. I saw Mr Sood who reassured me that having surgery I would be pain free and able to do all the things I used to do. He explained everything very clearly and put my mind at rest. I felt he understood how frustrated I felt after the operation he advised me about the milestones to my recovery were key to my progress. My operation was 6 months ago and I have followed his advice and I have made great progress and am more or less back to normal. Life is great again and I can highly recommend Mr Sood. A very caring Consultant

Mr Sood is a renowned Hip and Knee Surgeon who deals with all Hip and Knee issues as well as sports injuries. He has been in Specialist Consultant Practice since 2004. 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.

Mr Sood graduated from Guys Hospital in 1992 and went on to train at The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH) where he became Clinical Lecturer to the Professorial Unit.
