Dr Assad Qureshi was born and raised in London, where he studied medicine at the world-renowned Guy's Hospital. He undertook his advanced surgical training in the East Midlands and received his Certificate of Completion of Training (Board Certification) in Trauma and Orthopaedics in 2016. He then completed the prestigious National Fellowship in Paediatric Orthopaedics at Sheffield Children's Hospital. He was appointed at the University Hospitals of Leicester as the first orthopaedic consultant solely dedicated to paediatric orthopaedics, where he ran a tertiary service for complex cases referred from across the East Midlands. He has more than 15 years of orthopaedic experience, including over 8 years as a full-time paediatric orthopaedic surgeon treating complex deformities in children.
Dr Assad places emphasis on patient-centred care with treatment plans tailored to the specific needs of the individual patient. He is first and foremost a Paediatric Orthopedic Surgeon delivering focussed speciality care for the following disorders:
Hip disorders - As a Consultant, Dr Assad advanced single-stage hip reconstruction with open reduction and concurrent deformity correction for developmental hip dysplasia with excellent outcomes. He has extensive experience of surgical treatment for residual hip dysplasia. He set up the "one stop" neonatal hip dysplasia clinic where patients have their hip ultrasound and treatment with Pavlik harness (if indicated) on the same day. Dr Assad is a keen proponent of early containment surgery for Perthes disease and offers patient specific evidence based treatment for slipped upper femoral epiphysis.
Neurmomuscular deformity - Dr Assad has a keen interest in the orthopaedic management of cerebral palsy. He is an active member of the British Society for Surgery in Cerebral Palsy and offers comprehensive surgical treatment for hip migration, deformity and gait optimisation. Dr Assad favours hip reconstruction over other salvage procedures for hip migration in cerebral palsy. He sat on the regional MDT panel for instrumented gait analysis case discussion where he would review the data analysis from clinical cases to generate treatment recommendations for patients with gait disorders. Dr Assad undertakes single event multi level surgery (SEMLS) to comprehensively address deformity and muscle imbalance in walking children with cerebral palsy.
Paediatric Foot deformity - Dr Assad has a strong background in treating paediatric foot deformity such as clubfeet. He firmly believes in using cast treatment to slowly stretch and correct deformities so that less surgery is required. He has extensive experience of treating recurrent, relapsed and complex clubfeet in addition to neuromuscular foot deformity with good outcomes. Painful flat feet in teenagers are a significant part of his practice where he offers biological surgical reconstruction (rather than fusion or implants) for patients who still have symptoms despite physiotherapy and orthotic provision.
Limb deformity - Dr Assad undertakes the full complement of limb reconstruction techniques for patients with limb deformity. He undertakes complex circular frame treatment of patients with limb shortening as well as internal fixation techniques for deformity. His expertise with both internal and external fixation ensures that patients receive the most appropriate treatment to achieve comprehensive deformity correction. Dr Assad has excellent outcomes following guided growth treatment for children with lower limb deformities where growth potential can be used to correct deformity with minimal surgical intervention.
To devise patient-specific surgical treatment, Dr Assad uses every diagnostic tool at his disposal including radiographic deformity analysis, 3D virtual modelling, instrumented gait analysis, and pedobarography. He strongly values patient communication, support, and detailed discussion of proposed surgical treatment, potential surgical alternatives, and expected outcomes following treatment. He works with a multidisciplinary paediatric team that includes physiotherapy, rehabilitation medicine, pediatric neurology, and orthotic services.

Good doc, very busy , but good experience
Thanks for the review. Even when busy, I don't rush and give every patient exactly how much time is required to address the matter at hand. This does make my clinic run late on occasion so thank you for your patience.

We have immense trust on Dr. Assad’s treatment. He was very prompt in his responses whenever we needed him. Even on his holiday, he attended us with a big smile. A big thanks to him for our son’s treatment.
The greatest thanks I can give to parents is that they placed their trust in me to treat their child. I hope the immense sense of gratitude never ends.

Highly recommended! Everything was explained with great detail so it could easily be understood! Dr. Assad Qureshi is kind and professional.
I love detail. Everything is in the fine detail when it comes to communication. Happy to confess to ignorance rather than make up a scientific arguement. Happy to share my theoretical extrapolations on the science and ethos of surgical treatment strategies. And very happy to share examples of cases I have personally treated to help patients and parents understand the treatment journey. Ultimately, if you can't say what you mean, you can never mean what you say. Sincerity demands transparency.

Dr Asad was very thorough and extremely knowledgeable. He addressed all our questions and explained all the options with their pros and cons and settled on the best possible option and outcome for my 11 year old. My son is very happy and satisfied with his treatment.
Thanks for the kind review. In the end, there may be options but as a treating clinician it is important to give a recommendation based on x-ray appearences, clinical findings, patient insght and compliance but also convnienc at this time of year when many families are looking to travel.

Our son was treated by Dr. Qurashi and casts were created for both his legs. The doctor was very supportive and provided good care to our son and made him feel comfortable throughout the 6 weeks he had the casts on. We are very pleased with the result of the treatment and the aftercare service provided.
Serial casting can be a real challenge for active kids and their families so very happy to hear that the treatment went well

This young patient with Spina bifida had stopped walking due to deformities in his feet. Dr Qureshi successfully treated him with weekly plaster cast changes to stretch out the feet followed by a patient specific surgical plan to rebalance the forces on the foot and allow the child to walk once again.

Witness the remarkable treatment journey of this 12 year old girl who sustained a severe fracture of her leg with a large wound and exposed bone. Dr Qureshi used a staged approach to enable wound closure, fracture healing and restoration of bone length using a circular external fixator. The patient had an excellent outcome with pain free function and full return to sporting activities.
