About Mr Chris Roberts
Mr Roberts qualified in 1992 from the University of London before undergoing the specialist East Anglian Training Rotation.

In 2004, he became a Consultant in Trauma and Orthopaedics at Ipswich Hospital.

Patients experience successful outcomes following operations, including shoulder joint replacement, rotator cuff repair, and hand surgery for Dupuytren's contracture. He ensures full confidence from initial consultation through to recovery, and is recommended. Many patients report positive results for issues such as shoulder pain, including frozen shoulder and rotator cuff repair.
Mr Roberts was very helpful and we had a useful and informed discussion enabling me to make a decision about further treatment.
Operation last November has been well followed up and recovery explained. Very satisfied with treatment received and interaction with Mr Roberts
Excellent treatment as we’ve always had with Mr Robert’s. Felt very safe and understood.
Every interaction I have had with Mr Roberts has been a positive experience.
I found my consultation easy to understand and very helpful.
Not necessarily the easiest of consultants to talk to but todays appointment was satisfactory.
Chris Roberts carried out a successful surgery on my right hand. The operation went well and the outcome was perfect. I had full confidence from the initial consultation right through to undergoing the surgical procedure and follow up. I would certainly recommend Chris Roberts and would not hesitate if required to use his surgical skills again in the future. Mike C.
Very informative consultation regarding the operation I need to have on my shoulder. I have concern about the after care when I'm incapacitated, having my right arm in a sling for four weeks and unable to look after myself.
The whole process from my initial consultation with Mr Roberts, the surgery and post op telephone consultation today was excellent. The outcome from my operation and subsequent recovery has been amazing. I am completely pain free and have been able to resume living an active life again. The whole process with Nuffield, Ipswich and Mr Roberts, his theatre staff and the physio I saw to aid my recovery was first class. The outcome of my surgery was far more successful that I anticipated and I am now pain free and living a full life again. I am really grateful. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a great review. Much appreciated and very glad your surgery was a success.
