Mr Caesar Wek maintains a professional and clear manner with patients. He provides an informative and caring approach, making patients feel at ease and well-prepared. His surgical skill for hip replacement and complex hip revision leads to excellent recovery, less pain, and improved movement. Excellent results are seen in his joint replacement work, including hip arthroplasty.
If you need a hip replacement I would recommend Mr Wek and his minimally invasive technique/operation. Besides some discomfort at various times my experience was virtually pain free and after 5 weeks I was walking without crutches albeit rather slowly and cautiously. I was in a lot more pain and discomfort particularly from my knee prior to having the hop operation
Mr Wek performed my total hip replacement left side in August 2026 and I am amazed by the results. I was well cared for and the operation itself was performed with minimal intrusion, a smaller scar than I had expected and this led to a very swift recovery. I cannot recommend Mr Wek and his team at the Winterbourne highly enough.
My experience for a Hip replacement with Dr Wek was outstanding. I was initially very scared and apprehensive to have such a major surgery but his kind, caring demeanour put me immediately at ease. He explained everything in terminology I could understand process at I was in such great pain. The operation was a wonderful success and I am finally out of pain in that Hip. I will have no concerns when I go back to him for my second Hip replacement. I would highly recommend Dr Wek for anyone considering this surgery. Not only will it be the best decision you ever make for your mobility and pain but you will be taken care of by a wonderful surgeon.
Could not fault anything, staff were very friendly and efficient, was never made to feel uncomfortable, bedside manner was faultless and very professional, as a NHS patient I feel I wasn't treated any differently, Dr Wek was excellent, and had no problems with recovery
From the initial consultation through to my hip replacement surgery and then post -operatively my care was outstanding. Mr. Wek is highly skilled , very personable and caring. Any fears I had disappeared as throughout my stay I was kept informed of every aspect of my treatment by Mr. Wek and his exceptional team.
Mr Wek is a very calm and makes me feel at ease with his manner. He explains all aspects of the treatment and post treatment
It was an excellent visit Mr Wek gave me the advice I needed, answered any questions I had. I had trays on my knee & he explained the results . He made suggestions to help & a way forward. I left feeling reassured & very grateful to get an explanation & what the next step will be. A big grateful thank you
Made to feel at ease, listened and explained very well answered and reassured me on all questions. Very pleasant manner ,made experience Very satisfied,very professional. Lovely environment.
Was a very professional but approachable consultant, explained my surgery and recovery expectations. I felt at ease talking through any concerns or worries I had? Would recommend to family and friends
I had a right hip replacement operation by Mr Wek as an NHS patient at the Winterbourne Hospital in Dorchester in June 2026. Mr Wek was informative and professional in my contacts with him prior to the operation. He was reassuring when he saw me on the day of the operation both before and after the procedure and my recovery has been excellent. I am now walking without pain for the first time in several years.
Astute and reliable surgeon.
