Knee Conditions – Knee Surgery
Lots of conditions can cause knee problems that lead to pain or instability. Talk to Alex Dodds, specialist knee doctor, about yours.
Specialist Knee Surgeon
Not every knee condition requires surgery. Even for those that do, surgery should never be the first option. If you are suffering from knee pain, Alex will work with you to identify what is causing your knee problems and determine the best possible course of treatment for you. Then, he’ll help you understand whether surgery could be beneficial.
