Mr Tai understood my knee problem fully. He offered me a couple of options in what he could do to help. After coming out of the arthroscopy I felt very little pain and was relatively comfortable for the following days.

I had a hip replacement just over 6 weeks ago at Pinehill Hospital. My overall experience was very positive. Dr Tai is a caring and engaging Dr and I coud not have had better treatment. I am now pain free and with the help of my Physio I am fully mobile. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr Tai for his excellent treatment.

I am 6 weeks post total hip replacement and am very pleased with the result. Mr. Tai was excellent and I would have no hesitation in recommending him. He is skilled and professional and was happy to answer all my questions. I am also very happy to recommend Pinehill Hospital and the lovely staff.

I recently had Hip Steroid injections at Lister Hospital. My experience was quick, pain free and professional. The staff go above and beyond to look after you. Mr Tai kept me informed every step of the way up to my admission/procedure date. I am so grateful for everything Mr Tai and his amazing team have done for me

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.
