About Mr George Ampat

Mr. George Ampat is a highly experienced Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon with over two decades of experience.

Mr. Ampat earned his medical degree in India in 1986. He went on to further his education and training, eventually obtaining fellowship recognition from the Royal College of Surgeons in Glasgow. Throughout his career, Mr. Ampat has prioritised finding non-surgical solutions to his patients' issues, aiming to minimise risks associated with surgery. He currently serves as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Liverpool University Hospitals and also provides private consultations in Southport, Liverpool, Manchester, and London. Additionally, he is involved in teaching at the School of Medicine, University of Liverpool.

His mission as a healthcare professional is to deliver high-quality orthopaedic and spinal care while minimising the need for surgical interventions, with the ultimate goal of promoting wellness, alleviating suffering, and restoring health, always with the well-being of his patients in mind. Despite his extensive surgical experience, Mr. Ampat specialises in the non-surgical treatment of individuals with spine, knee, hip. feet, and other musculoskeletal problems whenever possible.

Recognising that many cases of spinal and other musculoskeletal issues, are not typically serious, Mr. Ampat approaches each patient's condition with a detailed consultation and a comprehensive examination. If necessary, he may request additional diagnostic tests such as MRI scans to ensure an accurate diagnosis and the most appropriate treatment plan.

George was very forthright in his opinions, which I appreciated. He has seen things during my thorough examination which have never been picked up before, despite being tested on numerous occasions. He has put me on a road which I need to explore to ensure I don’t end up completely immobile. I can only thank him for bringing this to my attention, and rest assured his diagnosis will ultimately save me from years of pain👍🏻

I had an excellent experience with Mr. George Ampat. He was very professional, genuine and honest. He thoroughly examined my knee, shoulders, back and overall body pain, and gave me very clear and straightforward advice. He tested my strength with plank and side plank exercises, and explained exactly what I need to do to get stronger and look after my body. He also sent me knee, shoulder and back exercises by email to follow at home. Very clear communication, very knowledgeable, and truly cares. 10/10 - I would highly recommend him to anyone. He is the best physiotherapist I have seen.

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and generous review. I’m delighted that you found the assessment thorough and the advice clear and practical. Just a small clarification: I am an Orthopaedic Surgeon rather than a physiotherapist. My approach combines orthopaedic expertise with the principles of Lifestyle Medicine. I strongly believe in exercise, strengthening and non-operative management wherever appropriate, while also considering the wider lifestyle factors that influence musculoskeletal health, recovery and long-term wellbeing. My aim is not simply to treat a painful joint or injury, but to help people understand what they can do to improve their strength, mobility and overall health, and hopefully reduce the need for unnecessary interventions. It was a pleasure meeting you, and I really appreciate your kind words and recommendation. I wish you continued improvement and every success with your exercises.

I had an excellent consultation with Mr George Ampat regarding longstanding back and knee pain. He took the time to review my MRI scans in detail and carried out a thorough examination, explaining his findings in a clear, professional and very easy-to-understand way. I particularly appreciated his empathetic approach and the time he took to answer my questions and explain the underlying issues. Most importantly, he provided me with a clear, cohesive non-surgical treatment plan focused on exercise, strengthening and rehabilitation, which I will be following. Overall, a very positive experience. I would have no hesitation in thanking Mr Ampat for his care and recommending him to anyone seeking a thorough, professional and non-surgical assessment of back or knee pain.

Dr Ampat put me at ease immediately and took the time to understand the mechanism of injury and how the injuries could have occurred. Dr Ampat broke down the medical explanations in a way that I could easily understand. Dr Ampat was very thorough checking all joints and their range of movement constantly checking where the pain was. I was given rehabilitation exercises which were very helpful and gave me something to work on while waiting for the next step. I am very pleased with the whole consultation and would highly recommend Dr Ampat.

George Ampat - How I help patients

George Ampat - How I help patients

Hello, I’m Dr George Ampat, and I work as a consultant orthopaedic surgeon in Merseyside, United Kingdom. Though I am a surgeon by training and practice, I prefer to treat patients without surgical intervention or nonoperatively as much as possible. Surgery is necessary at times but occasionally can cause complications and the outcomes may not be as desired. Unfortunately, in many situations, we do not exhaust all non-operative measures and are quick to resort to surgery or injections. I follow a holistic approach and recommend the practice of Lifestyle Medicine. This is my sub-specialism in orthopaedics. I focus on back, neck, hip, knee and foot pain and am particularly interested in older adults. I run clinics in Southport, Liverpool, Manchester and London. I would be honoured if you would give me an opportunity to be of service to you. I promise to stand with you in your journey to find relief from your bone and joint pain. Thank you so much for listening.
