Mr. Dan Shaerf is a highly skilled and experienced Consultant Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in Hand & Wrist Surgery. His NHS practice is at the excellent London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust. He graduated from the prestigious Royal Free & University College London Medical School in 2005 with Merit and undertook a BSc in Orthopaedic Science at the renowned Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital Institute of Orthopaedics. During his core surgical rotation, he was ranked in the top 10% across all of London 4 times consecutively, achieving the highest mark possible in 2009. After completing his specialist training on the highly sought-after North West London (Imperial) Rotation, he underwent 3 further very prestigious Hand & Wrist fellowships at Guy's & St Thomas' Hospital, Chelsea & Westminster Hospital, and Brighton & Sussex University Hospitals; thus honing his remarkable skills even further.

Mr. Shaerf is an expert in disorders and injuries of the hand and wrist. His research has been published in peer-reviewed journals and he has presented at international meetings on topics related to hand and wrist surgery as well as orthopaedics in general. He has set up a successful hand surgery service out of Ealing Hospital in West London and is particularly interested in thumb and wrist arthritis, using state-of-the-art joint replacement technology.

Mr. Shaerf is an experienced and well-qualified surgeon who regularly attends specialist conferences and courses to ensure his skills are cutting-edge. He has been a member of several leading surgical societies, including the British Society for Surgery of the Hand, the European Wrist Arthroscopy Society, and the British Orthopaedic Association. As a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, Dan is highly respected in his field.

Having been through a serious car accident and sustaining multiple fractures himself, Mr. Shaerf has first-hand knowledge of what it is like to be on the receiving end of orthopaedic surgery. This gives him a unique understanding and insight into the experience of his patients.

When he's not working, he enjoys spending time with his wife and three children, keeping fit, and scuba diving.

I would like to thank Dan and his team for everything they have done for me over the last 7 months. I first saw Dan with a significant wrist injury after a motorbike accident. I was very uncertain about what the outcome might be. He was clear in explaining his diagnosis, answering my questions and explaining step by step what the surgery entailed. His manner and confidence put my mind at rest on this. I have achieved a better outcome than i had hoped and this is down to his expertise as a surgeon and support during my recovery. James N

Mr Shaerf was keen for me to talk and explain the problem as I saw it. He was very clear in his explanation of what was causing my issues, and had an immediate solution. I appreciated his friendliness and sense of humour!

I cannot recommend Mr Shaerf highly enough. He very kindly fitted me in as an emergency during an already difficult and stressful time after an accident abroad that required me to be medically repatriated. From the outset I felt I was in exceptionally safe hands. He was extremely thorough, took plenty of time to assess me, and gave ample time for both me and my accompanying family to ask questions and discuss concerns. I was most grateful for his individualised approach - Mr Shaerf took the time to understand my usual activity levels, and my strong desire to return to my normal activities and sport as fully and efficiently as possible. He then based the treatment and rehabilitation plan around those goals. He was also able to complete the initial plaster treatment at my initial appointment which was incredibly efficient and reassuring. His explanations were clear and easy to understand, and he gave me a clear plan for what to expect as I progress through treatment and recovery, along with transparency about unexpected risks during my recovery. Throughout, he was considerate, approachable and extremely reassuring, both to me and to my family. His combination of expertise and clear communication, along with genuine care, made an extremely stressful situation much easier to navigate.

I did my research before selecting Mr Shaerf and it paid off. He is an ultra-specialist in hand and wrist surgery and he certainly proved this in treating my hand. His explanations were very clear and whilte being meticulous and exacting in his surgery, he gave me great confidence in his abilities during consultation. This confidence was well founded and I would certainly recommend him for hand surgery. He got rid of the dreadful arthritic pain in my hand so the operation could certainly be considered to be successful.
