I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Rajaratnam, as a patient my care was first class and I have recovered from my surgery without any problem. I also have the privilege of working with Sam sometimes in theatre, he takes the greatest care of all of his patients, he is very particular and thorough when operating. If you should need help and find yourself in his clinic be assured you are in the best hands. Sam works at The Horder Centre and The Schoen Clinic where he has built up excellent teams to ensure his high standards are maintained.

After having 5 arthroscopies in 5 years by an orthopaedic surgeon who said that I was "too young" to have a knee replacement, I decided to seek a second opinion.
I researched orthopaedic surgeons on the Internet, and decided that Sam was the man for me. I have to say I really hit the jackpot. When I first saw him, he immediately said that I needed both knees replaced - I could have kissed him, as I was so relieved that someone was finally listening to me.
He replaced my knees in 2020, and I have never looked back. I can swim, cycle and hike without any pain, and I have my life back thanks to Sam.
The treatment I had at the Horder Centre was outstanding, from the nursing care to the encouragement of the physios, and also the cheerfulness of the staff who brought my meals and replaced my water three times a day.
Sam is an amazing man, he is gentle, attentive and thoroughly professional, and he has an amazing team who help you at every stage of your journey.
As a former radiographer, I have had dealings with many orthopaedic surgeons, and have developed a great deal of respect for Sam. I would highly recommend him to anyone - he is the best in the field, and he deserves the reputation that he has achieved.

Just back from todays second dog walk, totalling about 13000 steps. I feel really happy being back on track again.
I had a total knee replacement on Dec.3 (7 weeks ago) and that was my second knee. Accident-prone? Not so sure, maybe just not giving in to old age. Kind of "use it or lose it".
Anyway I got to meet and be treated by Sam Rajaratnam and his team 3 years ago at Lister and was so impressed by the professionalism presented by everyone in the group that I wanted to find them again for this latest surgery.
Sam is just the most impressive surgeon, great personality, great explanations, total patient inclusion and a good laugh. I feel I can call Sam a friend.
Nowadays I am out of the workforce, but I would have been really happy to work with this very professional group.
I also took notice and appreciated the many different countries represented by Schoen Hospital employees.

I had a right knee arthroscopy and a partial lateral meniscectomy at Schoen Clinic.
The entire experience couldn't have been better, the clinic is at a very high level, everyone has been so kind and professional and everything has been really comfortable for the entire experience.
On the day of the surgery, I was impressed with the quality of every aspect of the treatment.
Mr. Rajaratnam has been amazing since the beginning, explaining to me everything, showing every detail, and suggesting the best approach for the best result with kindness and high professionalism.
The day after the surgery I feel very good, no pain at all, and I'm recovering very fast.
A big thanks to all the staff and Mr. Rajaratnam!
