I had a total right hip replacement in October 2025 after suffering for years with severe pain in my hip. I also had pain in my knee on the same leg, which I was told was being caused by my hip. From the pre-operative appointments to the surgery itself and the aftercare, the entire experience was truly first class. Every member of staff, from the housekeeping team to the nurses, doctors, and surgeons, were professional, knowledgeable, caring, and reassuring throughout. After the operation, it wasn’t long before both my hip and knee pain had completely disappeared. I can’t recommend Dr Zameer Shah and his team highly enough. They have completely transformed my quality of life. I can now go about my day without even thinking about my hip or knee, something I never thought would be possible. I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding care I received.

Mr Zameer Shah is an excellent consultant surgeon to deal with in every way. He has a friendly manner during the consultation, giving complete and concise answers to all my questions. This gave me full confidence to go ahead with my full left hip replacement performed by him. Post operation and after only three weeks I am walking pain free from my arthritis without any aids or pain relief drugs. The follow up consultation went through the before and after X-Rays showing my new hip and his skill involved in the replacement. I was told walking was the best physio for me and I can drive after six weeks post operation. Five star experience from a five star surgeon.

I had a hip replacement c. 18 months ago. Mr Shah’s treatment was top notch at every level. I could barely walk 100 yards prior to the surgery but I am now pain free and playing three full rounds of golf a week in my mid 70s. He has a caring and reassuring demeanour explaining everything in layman’s terms and answering questions however trivial. I highly recommend Mr Shah and would not hesitate to use his services again in the future should the need arise.

I had been having hip pain for several years and it was getting more debilitating. I was referred to Guys and Thomas's after an initial scan by my GP. Mr Shah took my initial consultation and after examining my xrays pronounced my hip was badly worn and only going to get worse. He offered me the chance for a Total Hip Replacement. and because I am still fairly young for it, with young kids and in fairly manual freelance employment he also offered to put me on the standby list (a last-minute list to use up the operation slots from patients who cancel their operation for whatever reason.) From the off I trusted Mr Shah and was touched by his compassion and by the way that he listened to my rather protracted history of hip pain. He saw me and my case on the human level. Within a fairly short period of time (2 months or so) I had had the procedure. The care within the hospital was first class and i was allowed home (under supervision) the next day. Within 3 weeks of the THR i had discarded my crutches and was hobbling about. Within 6 weeks I was back at work. and although my colleagues gave me help initially, i was able to perform my job without problem and within a few more weeks without pain for the first time in years! The follow up care has been brilliant in terms of physio appointments but also more generally with the orthopedics team.. I was very concientious in doing all of the exercises i was supposed to do, and even joined my local gym to keep me motivated to do them. Two years later on my new hip is definitely now my "good" hip. It's honestly made me feel ten years younger. strughling as I was with a worn out, graunchy, painful joint. I still go regularly to the gym, am doing the physio as required, but also using the elliptical cross trainer (low impact) and am from fairly recently running (cautiously!) I am fit and healthy and leading a normal active life, chasing around with the kids, walking the dog and can again handle the long days at work, stood up on my feet operating and all the associated lifting and carrying of heavy boxes etc. I recently had a final follow up appointment with Mr Shah and couldn't really convey enough my extreme gratitude to him. I genuinely felt myself welling up at one point during the debrief. He has basically enabled me to get my life back from a place of pain and walking with a limp to leading a normal, active healthy life again. Thank you once again Mr Zameer Shah!

Mr Zameer Shah performed a Hip Replacement on me at the London Bridge Hospital in January 2026. Apart from the Operation being a success, Mr Shah demonstrated great skill, care and understanding towards me as a patient, while I was in hospital, but more importantly before I was admitted and after I was discharged. He has an easy manner and a good sense of humour. He took care to answer all the queries I raised with him. I trusted Mr Shah's advice and I would recommend him without reservation.

Mr Shah listened to all my concerns and sent me for the scans I had hoped for, on receipt of the scans gave me a full briefing and answered all the questions I asked. He also gave me advice moving forward in ways to treat my condition/issue. He was very friendly and I was very happy with the service and would recommend him.

I recently had a Partial Knee Replacement under the care of Mr Shah at the Blackheath Hospital. I was very well looked after from the beginning to the end. Mr Shah came and spoke to me before and after the operation and explained things very clearly. I was able to walk out of the Hospital the next day and after a few weeks my knee feels as good as new. I was so pleased at how quickly I was walking without pain. The follow up care was excellent. I would like to thank Mr Shah and his team and also the nursing staff and the Physio team at the Blackheath Hospital for all the care and attention I received.

Mr Shah was very reassuring in my first consultation regarding my knee replacement given my advanced age he went through the procedure and pros and cons but I never felt I was wasting my time as Mr Shah explained everything thoroughly. The operation was successful and aftercare great with è regular checkups and physio I would highly recommend Mr Shah on every level
