Reviews
Mr Tai explained details of the op that I wanted to know. He visited to make sure all is well before I left Pinehill Hospital.
It was great that the Consultant Mr Tai visited me after the op to check that all was well.
I underwent a total hip replacement at the end of November under Dr Tai's care. Dr Tai was recommended to me as I was fed up with seeing doctors who did not listen and spoke at me or over me. I had many appointments with Dr Tai I always felt that he listened and gave me very clear concise answers to my many questions that I found easy to understand with no medical jargon. I am happy with the outcome of my operation.
Prompt and efficient pre and post op care from my consultant and the One hospital staff
Mr Tai recently completed a knee replacement on my right leg. I was impressed by the speed with which things took place following my decision to move forward . Mr Tai was very clear on what to expect and how things would progress. I have been very pleased with the results - and am looking forward to getting back onto the fairways

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.
