Mr David George

Mr David George is an experienced Orthopaedic surgeon with specialist interests in hip and knee surgery, musculoskeletal trauma, and sports injuries. Graduating from the University of Birmingham in 2009, he pursued higher surgical training in London and was selected for the Specialist Registrar Orthopaedic training programme at Imperial College London. Mr George honed his skills at some of London’s best hospitals, including the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore.

Following the completion of his specialty training, Mr George dedicated an additional two years to Fellowship training, further refining his subspecialist expertise in hip and knee surgery. His time at the prestigious Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Oxford, and Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital in London added depth to his proficiency. Mr George’s commitment to excellence in Orthopaedics is underscored by his participation in renowned International Fellowships. Notably, he collaborated with leaders in hip and knee replacements at the Helios ENDO-Klinik in Hamburg and the Galeazzi Orthopaedic Institute in Milan. In 2020, Mr George was honoured with the EFORT Robotic Travelling Fellowship, where he visited specialist centres in London, France, and Germany pioneering robotic-assisted joint replacements.

In his role at The Princess Alexandra Hospitals NHS Trust, Mr George provides comprehensive care for acute musculoskeletal trauma and sports injuries, as well as for chronic conditions to hips and knees. Whilst he takes every effort to explore non-surgical options with his patients, Mr George is able to offer procedures to treat cartilage, ligament and meniscal injuries of the knee, as well as addressing early and advanced osteoarthritis of the hip and knee. This includes partial and total knee replacements, robotic-assisted knee replacements, total hip replacements, and re-do (revision) joint replacements.

Mr George is deeply committed to a patient-focused approach in his practice, recognising that each patient is unique. He prioritises open communication and will actively involve his patients in their decision-making process. Through personalised care plans, Mr George aims to guide patients on their journey to recovery, ensuring a supportive and empowering healthcare experience.

Here at One Hatfield Hospital, we are always pleased to hear what our patient’s think of the service they have received.  Below is a snapshot of the some of the excellent feedback we have received for Mr David George.

Mr George visited me on the day of the operation, he provided me with all the information I needed to know and answered all of my questions in a positive and honest manner. I found Mr George very easy to talk to and his demeanour was such that he left me in a positive frame of mind. On the day of the operation things went very smoothly, I arrived at the hospital at 7am and by 11.45am I was back on the ward with the hip replacement having been successfully completed. I was offered and accepted a lumber anaesthetic, I was awoken and became immediately aware of my surroundings just as the operation was being completed. I felt no pain whatsoever during or immediately after the operation, although my lower legs and feet were very numb. In the early afternoon Mr George visited me on the ward, he informed me that the operation went very well and as long as I was in agreement, I could be released from the Hospital that day. I was assessed by the physiotherapy staff and eventually released early that evening. Mr George has an excellent bedside manner, every interaction I had with him left me feeling very confident in his abilities and skill. After nearly six weeks I feel that the hip operation that Mr George performed has changed my life for the better and I cannot thank him enough. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Mr George, he is an excellent surgeon.

From the very first I had confidence in Mr George. His bed side manner was first rate and his explaining everything was good. His expertise on Hip surgery was immediately evident and from the very moment of my operation I have had no pain or any problem. I would without hesitation recommend him. Thank you Mr George for a job well done.

From the moment I met Mr George I felt confident in him. He not only had a good bedside manner but was easy to talk to. The surgery (replace hip) went very well with no problems of any type. It is now 6 weeks after the operation and I can now walk with no supports and no pain whatsoever. I would not hesitate from recommending him. Many thanks for what you did.
