My Mum had a hip replacement only a few weeks ago and the outcome is exceptional. As she is 92 we fully expected the long haul in recovery but Mum was up and walking immediately and has continued to get better and better with each day. Mum was so well looked after by Mr Tai and his team and she felt extremely well cared for and this contributed immensely to a speedy recovery. Thank you.

Difficult to say how he could improve. Dr. Tai is confident (without being arrogant), takes the time to listen and asks questions, allowing you as the patient to make an informed choice. I was very pleased with the speed of my recovery, which I put down to his and his team's work. Yes I would absolutely recommend him.

Met with Stephen at Pinehill hospital for a consultation for Knee surgery, i was immediately put at ease after discussing the options which were carefully explained to me on what the associated risks and benefits of having the surgery were what to expect and probable outcomes i had very limited mobility before the surgery and have regained full mobility so i am very satisfied with the outcome Stephen explained each step on what to expect very polite and thoroughly professional

I appreciated that I was informed about the risks of surgery even though it was hard to hear at the time. Despite the risks I felt very confident that Mr Tia would do his utmost to achieve a good result. I was fully informed about the procedure and felt able to ask questions both before and post op. Prior to the surgery I was struggling to manage physically but it was also affecting my mental health as I hate having to ask others for help. I am very pleased with the results, which have exceeded my expectations, and have already gained a great deal more function which enables me to get on with my every day life. I am only 7 weeks post surgery, and intend to carry on working very hard to improve my situation further. I am extremely grateful to Mr Tia and his team

Profile

I am an experienced Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, who specialises in adult hip and knee arthroplasty and the management of traumatic injuries. I consult privately at Pinehill Hospital in Hitchin, and One Hatfield Hospital.
Having studied medicine at St Mary's Hospital medical school, I underwent specialist training on the highly regarded Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore, Specialist Registrar rotation. I then continued my sub specialty training in adult hip and knee replacement surgery on the prestigious year-long fellowship with the Specialist Orthopaedic Group in Sydney, Australia. During this fellowship, I was trained in the latest arthroplasty techniques, including the direct anterior approach to the hip, computer navigated hip replacements and patient specific implants.
I have completed a second fellowship in complex trauma at University Hospital, Walsgrave - one of the busiest major trauma centres in the United Kingdom.
I have published a number of articles related to my areas of sub-specialty interest and I have written book chapters on traumatic injuries.
