Mr Andrew Carrothers

From the initial appointment , immediate pre-and postoperative appointments and six week follow-up appointment, Mr Carrothers has been very approachable and pleasant, not hurried, open to questions and giving clear and concise answers, and reassuring when required. The Hip replacement operation was carried out as was outlined, with an excellent result. I have been very pleased with the whole experience and would thoroughly recommend him as an Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Carrothers is a highly skilled, very experienced , very skilful and compassionate Surgeon. I consulted him first in 2022 about a painful right hip which he replaced very successfully in January 2023. In 2025 I saw Mr Carrothers again with great pains in my left hip. He performed an Aspiration on this hip and diagnosed a Scepsis infection. Mr Carrothers ordered a ‘Washout’ operation which stopped the infection from spreading. On May 12th 2026 Mr Carrothers performed the right hip replacement surgery. On his team were the two very skilled Anaesthetists Dr R. Mahroof and Dr J. Martin, with Mr Carrothers’s very caring and reliable Secretary Carol Morse helping me make all the appointments I needed. I greatly admire Mr Carothers and I feel much gratitude towards him for giving me two perfectly fitting new hips which enable me to walk again.

Went to see Mr Carrothers when I realised I had a problem with my hip that wasn’t going to be accurately diagnosed by the NHS anytime soon. Had been hoping for a quick injection which would solve the problem, but after an X-ray he broke the news that what I really needed was a new hip. I had surgery 3 weeks later and 7 weeks after that was back up dancing at the daytime disco at the nightclub in Newmarket. A ten week span from, ‘not being able to move without a great deal of pain’ to ‘dancing for 3 and a half hours to ABBA’ So…would highly recommend. A life changing surgery by a very lovely man. Really hope we don’t have to cross paths again, but if I need hip or knee surgery in the future I will definitely be tracking him down.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude and highest recommendation for orthopaedic surgeon Mr Andrew Carrothers following recent Mako-assisted knee replacement surgery. My case was particularly complex due to significant previous injuries to the leg, which had ultimately resulted in severe arthritis in the knee joint. The surgery therefore presented considerable challenges, yet throughout the entire process I felt completely confident in his care. His exceptional expertise, skill, and attention to detail were evident at every stage, and the outcome is a testament to his ability to successfully undertake highly complex orthopaedic procedures. Equally impressive was the manner in which he supported me throughout what was, at times, a daunting experience. He consistently demonstrated genuine kindness, empathy, patience, and understanding, taking the time to explain each step of the treatment and ensuring that I was informed, reassured and supported. His professionalism was matched by his compassion, which made a significant difference to my experience and recovery. From my initial consultations through to surgery and ongoing follow-up care, he has provided outstanding treatment and unwavering support. I am deeply grateful for the care I have received and would not hesitate to recommend Andrew to anyone requiring specialist orthopaedic treatment, particularly in complex cases requiring advanced surgical expertise.

Mr Carrothers put my knee back together after a complete quadricep tear. 11 weeks later I am getting my mobility and my life back. He's a top man!

Mr Carrothers made the experience of having a hip replaced as good as it possibly could be, because of his professional, but at the same time friendly, caring and relaxed manner. I trusted him to give me a good outcome. After 6 weeks I feel very well and ready to "go"

Mr.Carrothers is a very approachable, communicative and competent surgeon. I felt completely safe and relaxed in his hands and the very successful. outcome of my hip replacement surgery has resulted in my now following an active lifestyle again, free from the pain of osteoarthritis. Thank you very much to Mr.Carrothers for all his care and attention, I would strongly recommend this surgeon to anyone requiring a hip replacement.

I was referred to Andrew Carrothers by my GP after my GP had advised I needed a new hip (at the age of 54!!). I was aware of having surgery as a baby and Andrew explained this was due to me having hip dysplasia. Whilst I was able to continue my usual activities of golf, spin classes and walking, all of these had become difficult (even just walking upstairs was uncomfortable) and the hip was having a significant impact on day to day life. Andrew answered all my questions, no matter how trivial or silly they might have been, and his positive attitude and enthusiasm reassured me that I would be able to return to all of these pastimes. I am now completely pain free, mid way through my rehab and well on the way to full recovery. I've been able to walk unaided and cycle for the last three weeks and am well on the way full recovery. I have no hesitation in recommending Andrew Carrothers.

Having lived with a hip defect for many years, it was only now, at eighty that it had started to give much trouble. It was left to me, by my GP, to research an orthopaedic consultant. Since choosing the kind and enthusiastic Mr. Carrothers I have never looked back: Minimal discomfort at all times and by using a walking frame right from the start, I was able to walk unaided after ten days and walked unaided to my single physio. appointment two days later-great. My heartfelt thanks to Mr. Carrothers for a truly wonderful result. Three months on I have a pair of legs which now work as a team.
