Mr Dunnet completed his basic medical training at Cambridge University Medical School and Guy’s Hospital.  His interest in knee surgery developed during general training at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore and King’s College Hospital, London.

 

After Mr Dunnet finished his general orthopaedic training he spent one year in Australia studying at the Institute of Orthopaedics in Melbourne and the North Sydney Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine Centre; both units specialised in reconstructive and replacement surgery of the knee. Working with the premiership Australian Rules, players gave him insight into the special demands of the elite athlete.

Reviews

Below is a snapshot of some excellent feedback for Mr William Dunnet.

This is the second time I have been treated by Mr Dunnet and he was very reassuring.

Very pleasant guy, very clever person.

I was very pleased with how Mr Dunnet explained everything and took time to answer my questions. He has done a wonderful job in giving me back my mobility and I would have every confidence in him carrying out future operations or treatments for me.
