About Mr Aravind Desai

Mr. Aravind Desai is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon currently working at the private practice St Hugh's Hospital, Grimsby, The Lincoln Private Hospital and Ramsay Park Hill Hospital.

Mr. Desai completed the world-renowned upper limb fellowship from Wrightington Hospital, which is a centre of excellence. Through his training and experience, Mr. Desai has an excellent approach to the management of complex orthopaedic procedures, including arthroplasty of the elbow and shoulder, and also soft tissue arthroplasty. His area of special interest includes sports injuries of the shoulder and elbow and treating conditions such as rotator cuff tears, joint replacements due to trauma, instability, and impingement, all performed by keyhole surgery.

Mr. Desai was the first to earn his Master's degree in trauma and Orthopaedics at Edgehill University and later went on to complete higher surgical training in the prestigious Northern Deanery Training Programme in Newcastle, which is when he developed a special interest in shoulder and elbow. Since his Consultant appointment, Mr. Desai has been pivotal in the establishment of improved patient pathways for shoulder and elbow treatment, including day case surgery, awake surgery, and enhanced recovery. Mr. Desai is also an active member of the scientific research community, and has authored many publications in renowned orthopaedic journals, and also presented his research at national and international conferences.

I have just had a reverse shoulder surgery done by Mr Desai and I am so very happy and grateful for everything that he has accomplished for me. He is extremely clear on what he is going to do and explains everything in a clear manner. I cannot thank him enough for the excellent work and dedication he has shown me. He has given me a new lease of life. I am due to have my other shoulder surgery next year and I’m so happy that Mr Desai will be doing this also. I honestly can’t thank him enough he is amazing. Thank you.

I have had the good fortune of being a patient of Mr Desai since 2025 I have had a shoulder Issue that has had a profound impact on my life and I had previously to meeting Mr Desai felt ignored and hopeless of a positive outcome. From my first consultation with Mr Desai he treated me with great respect and decency, he took my concerns seriously and kindly explained every step of my treatment, Most importantly Mr Desai listened to me, and considered my perspective. I felt the information he gave me on my treatment was easy to understand and every question I had was treated with the greatest respect, and my treatment was exactly as he had described. I feel very lucky to have had Mr Desai lead my treatment he has treated me respectfully and kindly. I feel the treatment I have received has been so far very successful and renewed my faith in my future, Thankyou for your Help, understanding and professionalism, Jamie R H.
