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.
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.
Mr..Wek is a very skilled surgeon with an absolutely excellent patient manner. He personally phoned my wife after my operation to say that all had gone well.
A very professional and informative appointment, where my symptoms and options were very clearly explained.
Mr Wek was very clear from the outset showing me the x-rays and what the issues were with my hip. He advised on the way forward and exp0lained clearly what he would be doing. After the surgery he was clear to show me what he had done and to explain why he had fitted the replacement hip he had. He has a very caring and considerate manner and I would thoroughly recommend him.
Mr Wek is a truly professional man with tremendous skills and expertise. He guided me through my hip replacement with such care, kindness and always with a smile. I never felt rushed when asking so many questions regarding his amazing hip revision technique. At the age of 75 I now have my mobility and independence back. He’s a top man and I would recommend him most highly.
Mr Wek uses a minimally invasive method to hip replacement which certainly aids quicker recovery.
Informed and well prepared. Explained the operation very well
Astute and reliable surgeon.
