London Sports Orthopaedics

Had total knee replacement carried out by Mr Henry Atkinson on the 18th November 2023. I found Mr Atkinson very professional and at the same time very personable. He gave me full confidence in both the procedure and the the necessary rehabilitation. He has a great 'bedside' manner and takes time with you to explain issues as well as touch on the wider world. I have no hesitation in recommending him. His team, especially Carla, were also very helpful and friendly. I could not fault the care I received at the Cavell Hospital

Last April a Chiropractor friend noticed me limping and I said I had a hip issue. He recommended Consultant Orthpaedic Surgeon, Henry Atkinson should I wish to be referred. In July I made the initial appointment for a consultation. Being recommended to Henry has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. He is a kind, charming and excellent practitioner exuding a quiet assertive confidence, and more importantly, very approachable. His care and attention is exemplary. I could not have been under better or more capable hands.

I was seen by Mr Atkinson for meniscus repair and ACL reconstruction. He advised me that the meniscus repair may not hold as it was badly torn (a previous surgeon just wanted to cut it out) however over 6 months later everything is holding up just fine which must be a credit to his surgical skills! Besides that, I found him to be extremely approachable, helpful and kind. I would definitely recommend him and would choose him again should I have any other ortho issues in future

I have had the pleasure of treating Ian MrDermott’s patients for two decades now and am consistently impressed by the results of his surgery, however complex the case. There are few people more passionate about informing patients of all the latest research in the field. As a physio it’s also reassuring to know that Ian will not operate unless absolutely necessary and always has the best interests of the patient at heart.

I have had the absolute pleasure of working with many of the consultants at London Sports Orthopaedics and can highly recommend their excellent and comprehensive quality of care.

As a Physiotherapist, I am so fortunate to be able to refer my patients to such a knowledgeable and caring facility where I can be confident that consultants will go above and beyond to ensure that decisions will be made collaboratively in the interest of each individual patient.

In particular, I was highly impressed with the excellent care provided by Mr Ian McDermott after referring a patient with a highly complex knee issue which I felt had been overlooked by another consultant. Both the patient and myself were delighted with the whole process in which time was taken to clearly explain the findings from thorough scans completed and furthermore a clear plan detailed for best advice for ongoing treatment.

A very happy Physiotherapist and patient alike. Thank you London Sports Orthopaedics for all the great work that you do.

Dr Mark Phillips, the hand surgeon I saw is fabulous. His treatment sorted out an issue I had on and off for about fifteen years. I am so grateful and will return should I (unlikely) have any other problems. Such a calm friendly manner and knows exactly what he is doing having pioneered a lot of his methods. Superb experience. Career saving.

There is nobody else I would trust with my treatment. but Mr Ian McDermott and his team. Through individual treatment and custom surgery London Sports Orthopaedics delivers world class care. The detailed and honest consultation process is both refreshing and realistic, without being lengthy and over-drawn out. You know you're being listened to and by fully managing my expectations, Mr McDermott put me completely at ease. Not only did I get a fantastic outcome, but I also had total peace of mind.
Thank You.

The experience I had at London Sports Orthopaedics was fantastic. Everything was done in-house, on the same day. When I arrived at the clinic, I was sent for an MRI scan. I then came back up to see Mr Ian McDermott straightaway, which transposed into me having my full consultation on the same day, within the hour, which was amazing. I had my knee replacement operation done at London Bridge Hospital. The level of care that I received from Mr Ian McDermott was five-star.

I saw Dr Ian McDermott back in March 2020 and proceeded to surgery in August with him for a complete ACL reconstruction. Throughout all my dealings with Ian he was professional, knowledgeable and inciteful about what to expect pre-op, in the mediate recovery post-op and during the subsequent 12-18 months of rehab required in order to get back to competitive hockey.

I was also extremely impressed with Ian's knowledge of recent research, with him sending me a number of medical papers pre-op to allow me to make a fully informed decision.

Overall great experience, would recommend.

Throughout my treatment at London Sports Orthopaedics the service and care provided was incomparable. Mr McDermott was not only professional, but honest when it came to discussing my expectations post op. From start to finish the team were friendly and helpful and I can’t thank them enough!

Outstanding experience from start to finish. Mr Ian McDermott was kind, thorough and left me in no doubt as to what treatment was required.
After surgery I am now back into my running pain free which is something I had previously thought impossible. I cannot thank Mr McDermott and London Sports Orthopaedics enough. Highly recommended!

I saw Mr McDermott for a knee consultation after a suspected torn meniscus. He thoroughly and clearly explained the issues, the options and the possible procedures needed. I am so grateful for his professionalism and clarity. It was a very re assuring experience and I made a speedy and full recovery. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

I have recently visited London Sports Orthopaedics for a minor knee injury that I sustained whilst visiting London.
The staff were incredibly welcoming and the surgeon I saw (Mr McDermott) was extremely helpful, accommodating and gave me great practical advice on how to rehabilitate my injury.
First class service and first class advice.

Following a knee injury, my wife recommended that I approach London Sports Orthopaedics. I was treated by Mr Ian McDermott in a most professional yet friendly manner during both the consultation and subsequent treatment. The result of the procedure was completely successful and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend both London Ortho and Mr McDermott.

I have seen Mr McDermott on a number of occasions over the years, initially when i went to him for a second opinion and then for follow up appointments since. I have found him welcoming and helpful and he has always taken time to explain things in a way I can understand. I am now fully on the mend and back to doing the activites that I love.

Outstanding. I had bilateral bunion surgery and my feet are now beautiful and straight. Very neat surgery and not as painful as I had thought. The whole experience and aftercare was excellent. Any queries were responded to within hours. Very pleased with my choice of surgeon. He has a lovely, amenable manner and would highly recommend.

I have worked with Ian for a number of years and referred many patients for his expertise on a number of complex conditions - his opinion is always valued and he won’t leave a stone unturned. Thanks for your support with all of our clients Ian 👍

My whole experience from beginning to end under Mr McDermott was second to none. A clear and concise prognosis through to a successful outcome. I now have full use of my knee to persue my activities.

Paul Jairaj at London Sports Orthopaedics, the best FAI surgeon I have come across in the UK. Outstanding cutting edge techniques and open, honest service. Fixed me after previous botched op, 100% recommend. - Louisa Weeks - Browning.

Honestly one of the best orthopaedic groups in the UK. Ian and the team are world class in their knowledge, facilities, services and reception team alike. I can not recommend this group of amazing people highly enough.
