Reviews
I was given the beat attention possible , both before and after the operations.
Mr Williams answered my questions and put my mind at rest concerning two particular worries.
I left the consultation feeling reassured and encouraged to work as hard as I can to strengthen my knee.
Dan is an excellent doctors. He has done both my hip replacements. I chose him for the second one as the first one has been perfect, and I am not disappointed. Takes time, is meticulous, good communicator and very helpful. I am delighted with my results.
Outstanding care and treatment and advice at all stages.
Great empathy. Realistic about options. Clear in communication.
The outcomes are great both physically and in my sense of wellbeing.

Profile
Mr Dan H Williams MBBCh MSc FRCS
Mr Dan H Williams is a Consultant in Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery at Schoen Clinic, London and Royal Cornwall Hospital and Duchy Hospital, Truro with an interest in Primary and Revision Hip & Knee Replacement.
Dan qualified from University of Wales College of Medicine in 1998 and trained in South Wales, Australia and South Africa before becoming a registrar in the South West of England. He underwent sub-specialty fellowships in trauma, complex knee and hip replacement surgery in Seattle, Oxford and Vancouver.
A Master's degree in Orthopaedic Engineering from Cardiff University provided a basic science foundation upon which he’s built a strong research portfolio. Published work has looked at hip resurfacing (and the recent problems with metal ion levels), clinical outcomes following joint replacement (with an emphasis on returning to sporting activity) and techniques of revision hip and knee surgery.
Dan wanted to bring his research experience into everyday practice; to quantify and capture the impact of surgery on patients and to track these benefits into the long-term. Finding nothing appropriate available, he helped to develop MyClinicalOutcomes, a web-based system that monitors patient symptoms remote from the hospital before and after treatment and into the long term.
Outside of work he enjoys all that the Cornish outdoors has to offer while spending time with friends and family.
