About Mr Alex Chipperfield
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 Chipperfield exudes professionalism In a friendly, relaxed and reassuring manner. Having previously replaced a hip for my wife, I know what an outstanding surgeon he is.
Mr Chipperfield was very honest and explained everything thoroughly. I had every confidence in him and his team going into surgery. It was also nice to speak to a medical professional that actually was person centred.
Pre op Mr Chipperfield took care to examine my knee and discuss issues with me before recommending surgery. He took time to explain how the op worked, risks, issues and benefits. He checked my understanding and consent immediately prior to the op. I felt totally confident in his ability, experience and care.
