He has experience in treating high-profile actors, directors, musicians, and professional athletes from international rugby players to UFC fighters.

Mr Colaço completed his surgical and orthopaedic training in London after graduating with distinction from Imperial College School of Medicine. He completed two fellowships in shoulder and elbow surgery and complex upper limb surgery and was awarded the renowned BESS Travelling Fellowship, which he completed in Paris and Lyon. He is the Clinical Lead for Upper Limb Surgery at Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the Surgical Lead for sustainability.

I saw Mr Colaco in August 2023 for my fourth shoulder surgery after multiple unsuccessful operations (with other surgeons). My shoulder now feels strong and stable and I’m back to playing sports like I did years ago. Mr Colaco was professional, knowledgeable, efficient and direct. Overall, very impressed and thoroughly recommend for those with a busy life but want to get back to full fitness promptly. I’ll certainly be going back to Mr Colaco if my other shoulder has any issues!

Personal, professional and very knowledgeable. I had the good fortune to have Mr. Colaco perform a carpal tunnel operation some months ago and was completely satisfied with how it went. Would highly recommend him.
5
I could not be happier or more impressed. Mr Colaço is simply excellent and his 'bedside manner' is extremely reassuring. I do think that administrative support at The Shoulder Practice is a bit clunky at times, which might need attention, but the care I received was world class. Thank you so much. Highly recommended.
5
Very professional and to the point. Immediately requested imaging to diagnose my injured wrist and a follow-up MRI to ensure no undisplaced fractures were present.
5
Mr Colaco always provided me with clear explanation. He is a very competent doctor, always taking the time to go through my condition and next steps. I highly recommend him.
4.5
All very professional. Informative and understanding

Mr Colaco dealt with my frozen shoulder and broken ulna and I would highly recommend him to anyone. I underwent an arthroscopic capsular release surgery for my frozen shoulder and now I have regained almost full movement. Mr Colaco is an expert in his field.
