I am a Consultant Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgeon at Barking, Havering & Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust, with my NHS practice based at King George Hospital (Goodmayes) and Queen’s Hospital (Romford, Essex). My specialist interests include adult foot and ankle surgery (both simple and complex) and paediatric orthopaedics, though I also manage general trauma and orthopaedic conditions, including hip and knee surgery.
I am committed to delivering patient-centred, evidence-based care, offering minimally invasive surgery, arthroscopic procedures, and advanced ankle replacement techniques to optimise recovery and function. My approach to private practice reflects my NHS work; I provide a professional, compassionate service, ensuring that every patient receives the highest standard of treatment tailored to their needs.
I am an Honorary Senior Lecturer at Queen Mary University, London, dedicated to teaching and training the next generation of orthopaedic surgeons. I organise and teach on various practical orthopaedic and FRCS examination courses, including:
I played a key role in Queen’s Hospital being named 'Training Hospital of the Year 2014' for Trauma & Orthopaedics in the Royal London Rotation, and my contributions to training have been recognised through multiple awards.
I believe in clear communication, shared decision-making, and personalised treatment plans to help patients regain mobility and return to daily activities as quickly as possible. My practice is driven by compassion and professionalism, ensuring every patient receives the best possible care, whether through conservative management or surgery.
I live in Essex with my wife, a GP, and our two sons and daughter. Outside of work, I enjoy cricket, reading, travelling, spending time with my family, and experimenting with Indian cooking.

Mr Krishna Vemulapalli delivers clear, professional, and friendly patient interactions. He provides thorough assessments, detailing treatment options and conditions such as bunions, ankle fractures, and paediatric foot issues. Patients gain confidence, reporting positive outcomes from surgical procedures like ankle replacement and non-surgical management. His expertise is sought for a range of foot and ankle conditions, including sports injuries.
Mr Vemulapalli had booked me in for an x ray and a consultation. I had my ankle fusion operation on the 16th February and had been making good progress. Mr Vemulapalli is a good communicator and you don’t feel rushed when you see him. I had just started my physio treatment and he provided some guidance on this. He was pleased with the x rays and my progress and the 25th June was my final consultation. I am really pleased with how everything has gone and highly recommend him if you’re having ankle surgery.
Mr. Vemulapalli is a Dr that takes time to explain in minute detail everything he has found according to your symptoms & tells you everything that needs to be done to ease those symptoms. He has a wonderful bedside manner, & unlike some Consultant surgeons of his expertise, treats you like a human being. He realises when you are in consultation with him you are worried, he does everything in his power to allay those worries & fears. He did an amazing operation on me for a ruptured Achilles Tendon, using an FHL transfer. I am 77 years old & have healed wonderfully well despite my age & have got more or less full use of my leg back after just 8 months, which, I am sure, is due to Mr. V's surgical skills. I would not hesitate recommending Mr. Vempulapalli to anyone.
We chose Mr Vemulapalli because he had an excellent reputation in dealing with children. Whilst our son is 18 his autism means he has difficulty with concentration, comprehension and communication. It often takes a while to understand his communication style. Mr Vemulapalli was outstanding. He quickly modified his style to express himself in a way our son could understand in seconds. More importantly he was swift at confirming my son’s understanding of what was required and whether he was content with that. These skills are not as straightforward as they sound. We come across many professionals who do not possess them but Mr Vemulapalli possesses these skills in abundance. My only frustration was with appointment administrators but that is not within the control of clinical staff and on reflection a tiny irritation. In fact when there was an important matter to resolve a senior executive was also fantastic. Turning to the procedure. It was conducted promptly, with excellent care and understanding. Due to my son’s understanding I requested staff with paediatric experience and my request was met with unquestioning understanding. The anaesthetist chosen by Mr Vemulapalli was excellent, probably the best I have encountered (I had two operations as a child). She popped in at the end of her shift to ensure there were no difficulties with recovery. I wholeheartedly recommend this consultant.
Very impressed! He was thorough, friendly, explained clearly and great with kids! He really put our mind and ease and gave clear next steps. Would not hesitate recommending Mr Vemulapalli or booking another appointment.
As always, Mr V was extremely helpful and got me treatment straight away.
Very clear, and thorough. Mr V gave his own independent advice and diagnosis despite a physio and MRI report I had undertaken separately. Used a physical skeleton of the ankle to demonstrate. He also went through the steps and covered all basis. Very good.
I am very happy to provide feedback regarding Mr. V and the care he has provided for my son, Rayyan Ali. From the very beginning of our journey, starting with the surgery itself, Mr. V has been exceptional. His professionalism, expertise, and reassuring manner have given us complete confidence throughout the entire process. The surgery was carried out to an extremely high standard, and the outcome has been the best we could have hoped for in circumstances. It is clear that he possesses outstanding technical skill and clinical expertise, combined with genuine care and compassion for his patients and their families. We recently attended a follow-up appointment with Mr. V, and it was one of the most constructive and positive clinical appointments we have experienced. He was highly professional, approachable, and informative, taking the time to explain everything clearly and answer all of our questions thoroughly. We left the appointment feeling reassured, well-informed, despite the fact that Rayyan has a long and challenging role ahead following such a traumatic injury. Without question, this has been the best experience we have had to date in terms of follow-up care. Mr. V consistently demonstrates the highest standards of patient care, communication, and professionalism. We are extremely grateful for his dedication, expertise, and support, and would not hesitate to recommend him to other families.
Mr Vemulapalli made us feel very welcome and put my daughter at ease he was very friendly and explained everything very clearly
Mr Vemulapalli was very professional, gave a thorough explanation of the issue, and detailed the requirements for a solution. Highly recommended.
Dr Vemulapalli was attentive and reassuring from the start of our appointment with my 18 month old daughter, he was amazing with her and so attentive to explaining everything to us so clearly and listening to our concerns. I couldn't recommend him enough.
Excellent surgeon and colleague Would strongly recommend him
