About Mr James Gill

He holds an NHS post at the West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust in Bury St Edmunds and also consults privately at St Edmunds Hospital. His practice is dedicated to improving function, reducing pain and helping patients return to the activities they enjoy through precise assessment and personalised treatment planning.
Mr Gill specialises in the full spectrum of knee surgery, including partial (uni-compartmental) knee replacement, total knee replacement, ACL reconstruction, and knee-preservation procedures such as osteotomy and meniscal repair. He performs a high volume of knee replacements—over 200 per year—with approximately 40% of these being partial knee replacements.
Mr Gill is actively engaged in advancing orthopaedic knowledge and has published more than 20 peer-reviewed scientific papers, contributing to ongoing improvements in knee surgery and sports injury management.
His medical training began at Hughes Hall, University of Cambridge, where he studied from 2005 to 2009. He completed his foundation training at West Suffolk and Cambridge University Hospitals before spending a year as a junior doctor at the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, Australia. He subsequently undertook Core Surgical Training and then higher Orthopaedic Specialty Training across the East of England from 2015 to 2021. During this time, he earned a Diploma in Sports and Exercise Medicine from the University of Bath.
Mr Gill completed a prestigious fellowship at the Brisbane Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Centre in 2022, training under leading knee surgeons Dr Peter Myers, Dr Tim McMeniman and Dr Tony O’Neill. This world-renowned fellowship provided extensive exposure to complex knee surgery and sports-related injuries, including work with elite athletes.

Reviews
The experience was very good with my operation results clearly explained and a detail discussion on my recovery since the operation . We also discussed the short, medium and long term expectations of my future recovery.
I have battled with myself since my knee replacement. But after today’s visit and being told that yes you have worked hard, yes everything is going great and being made to feel everything emotion that I’ve felt for the past 6 weeks has paid off and my life now is amazing, and will be a fulfilled and exciting new life! THANK YOU SO MUCH X

Thank you for your kind words
Professional care in a pleasant , welcoming and relaxing environment. Can't praise Mr. Gill enough from the operation itself to the ease of recovery thereafter. He's highly skilled at pain management to the extent that I was actually looking forward to the same op on my second knee after such a successful, easy recovery with the first.
