Reviews
Mr Tai recently replaced my 91 year old grandfathers hip and it's been a complete success. He was very caring and sympathetic and explained the whole procedure in detail, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services he is a first class surgeon!
Mr. Stephen Tai, is the best surgeon I could have chosen to carry out my hip replacement. He was very pleasant and professional in every way. My replacement hip surgery is a complete success. If my old hip replacement, from 1997, ever needs replacing, Mr Stephen Tai would be my first choice.
Very professional from beginning to end. Very positive and confident. And I am 100% happy !
Mr Tai gave me a full hip replacement on the 8th January 2024, I had no problems what so ever, six weeks later I am walking unaided and free from pain and I am 78 years of age . Mr Tai is one of the most pleasant consultants I have ever met , I would recommend him one hundred percent .
Mr Tai performed a total hip replacement on my husband a few weeks ago. My husband is already enjoying the benefits which include a significant reduction in pain and improvement of mobility. We would highly recommend Mr Tai.

I then continued my sub specialty training in adult hip and knee replacement surgery on the prestigious year-long fellowship with the Specialist Orthopaedic Group in Sydney, Australia. During this fellowship, I was trained in the latest arthroplasty techniques, including the direct anterior approach to the hip, computer navigated hip replacements and patient specific implants.
I have completed a second fellowship in complex trauma at University Hospital, Walsgrave - one of the busiest major trauma centres in the United Kingdom.
I have published a number of articles related to my areas of sub-specialty interest and I have written book chapters on traumatic injuries.
