About Mr Alex Chipperfield
Website: alexchipperfield.com
I graduated from St Bartholomew’s Hospital Medical School, London in 1997 and then trained in surgery in the South of England and Gold Coast in Australia.
I then rotated through Basic Surgical Training on the South Coast before gaining additional experience in orthopaedics and plastic and reconstructive surgery.
I subsequently trained as an orthopaedic registrar on the South East Thames rotation based in London, Kent and Sussex. Having passed the FRCS examinations and obtaining CCT, I spent a year in Sydney on a fellowship in hip and knee surgery.
I returned to the UK in 2010 and took up my Consultant post in hip and knee surgery in East Kent, where I worked for 13 years.
Since 2022, I have worked purely in the independent sector, focused on delivering an exceptional service in primary and revision hip and knee surgery.
I am a high volume arthroplasty surgeon dedicated to innovation and improved outcomes via enhanced recovery, biological interventions, technological innovation and robotic assisted surgery.
I am Medical Director at Benenden Hospital, where I focus on the delivery of excellence in patient care in a modern, clean hospital environment.
I live in Kent with my wife, two daughters and dog. In my spare time, I enjoy the outdoor life - cycling, swimming and running marathons.

Mr Alex Chipperfield's interactions with patients are friendly and professional. He provides clear, informative explanations, which helps patients feel at ease and confident in his expertise. His excellent bedside manner, honest communication, and surgical expertise deliver outstanding patient care and positive outcomes. Patient feedback highlights total knee replacement and hip arthroplasty as major aspects of his orthopaedic work.
Mr Chipperfield was clear and concise in his initial evaluation of my options. He provided all the details open to me and I never felt pressured in any decision making. He was super friendly and very reassuring. I valued his professional opinion and knowledge. Post procedure he was no different. I was uncertain about my own recovery effort and Mr Chipperfield was marvellous in telling me how well I had progressed.
Alex is straight to the point (in a nice way) so you know exactly what could or could not be done, explains thing very through 😉
Mr Chipperfield always fully explains all the options in great detail I would have no hesitation to recommend him and the Benenden staff
Inspires confidence, very approachable and patient when being asked questions.
Mr Chipperfield was reassuring and honest from the beginning. All questions I had were answered and explanations given if necessary. I felt safe in his hands and that the operation would be a success.
Everything was explained to me before the procedure. Following the procedure I received a summary of the operation which was more than I was expecting.
I've been treated by him before either a wonderful surgeon This case he inspected me and examined two. And decided that I needed an MRI and that it was probably a tear to my Contraception Anyway we'll see One thing he did say is that he would be if it was as he suspected he would have to refer me to another consultant
