Mr Manoj Sood

I first saw Mr Sood in October 2025 as I could hardly walk with both my knees in constant pain. I had tried many different things including physio and steroid injections but I could not carry on. From that first consultation to the last I cannot praise Mr Sood highly enough. He is an excellent Consultant and even more an excellent Surgeon. Mr Sood organised x-rays and diagnosed Osteoarthritis in both knees and the only option was surgery to repair them. I was terrified of the prospect of having to have operations but Mr Sood is so kind, caring and passionate about doing his absolute best for his patients that I undertook Total Knee Replacement surgery in both my knees within 6 months. Mr Sood’s care of you is second to none. He explained everything clearly and had good communication from his office leading up to my procedures. On day of my surgeries Mr Sood reassured me any concerns I had and soon as my operations were over he saw me to say all went well. Mr Sood checked in on me whilst in hospital and then saw him again a couple of weeks later for a consultation on how I was recovering. I was shown the x-rays of my new knees and I diligently undertook the exercises Mr Sood had advised me to do and hired an ice machine to aid my recovery. I cannot thank Mr Sood enough for the wonderful care, support and encouragement he has shown me. I now have two lovely straight legs and pain free walking. I would not hesitate in recommending Mr Sood to anyone, for me he is the best.

I felt very well looked after and everything about the operation was explained perfectly

It was a great experience. Dr Sood was clear and happy to explain everything to me patiently. He answered my questions and recommended a way forward. Because I needed some X rays done to go with my MRI scan, I was able to get them done straight away and Dr Sood saw me again the same morning to finish off our appointment. I really appreciated that as it saved me a lot of time. Thank you!

I have no concerns to highlight at this stage of the rehabilitation

Mr Sood is looking into the cause of bleeds under my right knee cap after I had a TKR in 2024

Mr Sood Absolutely fantastic ! Professional Approachable Caring Empathetic Knowledgeable Amazing Surgeon . Thankyou

All consultations were open, possible risks and issues of surgical procedures were well explained

Overall my care by Mr Sood was good, as I had previously had knee surgery with him a few years prior. The only thing I wish to point out was the aftercare visits by Mr Sood were few. As a Surgeon, he does exceptional work.

The full replacement of my right knee took place on the 28th of August 2025 after Mr Sood had identified some time earlier that although my half compartmental replacement had served me well it was almost worn out and in danger of creating more serious problems if not dealt with quickly. (The half replacement was performed 25 years earlier by Mr Rawlings). The replacement surgery went well although I had a slightly longer stay in hospital to ensure bleeding of the wound was fully controlled as the new incision followed the line of my old scar. Mr Sood personally took control of redressing the wound in hospital and during the first outpatient surgery visit. On the second outpatients visit he examined the wound, was satisfied, as I was, that the surgery and recovery had gone very well. The new scar was much shorter than the 25 year old scar and was healing very quickly. By my 6 months outpatients surgery check-up in March, I was fully recovered and his colleagues were very happy to discharge me from their care. Since, then I have enjoyed the benefit of a new right knee which feels as good as it did back in 1980! (Before the car accident that broke my femur just above the knee, and which subsequently led to many years of suffering affecting both my knees). I am extremely thankful to Mr Sood for being my surgeon on three occasions: he has replaced both knees and I although I didn’t know it at the time, he had operated on my shoulder after an earlier accident back in 2013! His warm, encouraging manner and his positive approach to getting my knees sorted once and for all ...

Mr Sood is always very approachable, pleasant and professional. He is very clear and thorough in the manner in which he answers any questions that you may have.
