Mr. Sood has a reassuring presence and authoritative manner. He gave me the confidence to go ahead with the procedure.

In March 2018 I was diagnosed by my GP as having Arthritis in my right hip joint. This was confirmed by subsequent X-Ray. Following lack of progress in getting this resolved on the NHS and a steady worsening of my health and increased pain from my Hip, and following a number of recommendations I consulted Mr Sood. During my initial Consultation he fully explained everything that was involved, answering all my questions and concerns. I was given a date for the operation if I wished to proceed which due to my condition I readily accepted. The operation consisted of a non cemented Ceramic on Ceramic total hip replacement. I am very pleased to say was a total success. Within a few weeks I was walking normally without a walking stick and have since hiked many miles along rugged Coastal Paths, hills and fields with my wife. I am completely unaware of my new Hip which feels perfectly natural, just as it did prior to the onset of Arthritis. I can’t speak highly enough of the care and skill of Mr Sood, and would recommend him to anyone

Profile

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. In 2004, he received additional Specialist training in Hip and Knee Surgery at two Centres of Excellence in North America, The Mayo Clinic and Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was mentored by two of the world's best hip and knee surgeons.
