About Mr Chris Roberts

Mr Roberts qualified in 1992 from the University of London before undergoing the specialist East Anglian Training Rotation. After this, he undertook a year long General Upper Limb Fellowship in Brisbane, Australia and then a six month Shoulder Fellowship in Cape Town, Australia. In 2004, he became a Consultant in Trauma and Orthopaedics at Ipswich Hospital.

His elective practice is solely in upper limb surgery although he also takes part in the general On-Call so deals with all trauma injuries. Furthermore, Mr Roberts has an interest in teaching and he teaches on the Watanabe Shoulder Arthroscopy training programme and teaches on shoulder replacement courses.

Mr Roberts has co-authored in several scientific articles on shoulder and elbow surgery and is a member of several organisations. His memberships include BESS (British Elbow and Shoulder Society), BOA (British Orthopaedic Association) and the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

Dr Roberts was my consultant and surgeon for a carpal tunnel procedure. He fully explained his diagnosis and the procedure. On the day, the op was painless, and surprisingly quick. I am now pain and discomfort free for the first time in years. Im very pleased I chose Dr Roberts as my consultant, as you have to have confidence in your surgeon and I can say I did, 100%. If I need another procedure, Dr Roberts would be my first and only choice.

Excellent outcome from reverse shoulder replacement . Rapid recovery with minimal pain . Mr Roberts is an extremely professional and skilled surgeon with a proactive approach to mobilising post operatively which helps reduce stiffness

Had bilateral carpal tunnel decompression. Very glad Mr Roberts did both at the same time. Halved the recovery time and had no issues at all with having both hands done at the same time. Very happy with how everything went.
