Mr Paul Culpan provides excellent and clear patient interactions. He shows expertise in orthopaedic procedures, like knee arthroscopy and hip replacement. He gives full explanations for patient choices and achieves successful surgical results. Many patients then move better and feel less hip or knee pain.
Dr Culpan was very helpful in diagnosing and assessing an adductor tear. I was seen quickly, he organised scans easily and was very helpful explaining the results and getting follow up physiotherapy set up. I fortunately didn't need to get surgery so I can't comment on that side of things

Thank you for your kind feedback. I'm pleased that we were able to assess your injury promptly, arrange the necessary scans and explain the results clearly. Your feedback means a great deal to me.
As am amputee it is important for me to feel at ease and have confidence in my surgeon. Mr Culpan was able to achieve both, I am extremely happy with the pre and post surgery care.

Thank you for your kind words. I’m delighted to hear that you felt comfortable and confident throughout your care, both before and after surgery.I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
Not a bad thing I can say about it. The best of the best.

I appreciate your feedback and am pleased to hear that your experience was positive.
I "Highly recommend Paul . He successfully removed the plate and screws from my femur. The surgery went perfectly, and my recovery has been great. I especially appreciate how meticulous he was with the incision—he did a very tidy job and minimized scarring. A fantastic orthopedic surgeon!"
Mr Culpan explained things clearly, he was positive and encouraging but also realistic and honest. He detailed the options and likely prognosis and helped with the choice. I felt I could trust him to help me decide how best to move forward. I would definitely go back to him were I to need further treatment in future
I was extremely pleased right from my first appointment with Mr. Paul Culplan. He was friendly, approachable and made me feel at ease when I discussed the problems I had been facing regarding my left leg and knee. During my first meeting with him and after having had X-ray taken, we discussed various options available to take care of my left knee problem. I decided to have total left knee operation. The operation took place on 23rd July 2026. I followed his guidance and advice. I had Xray taken of my left leg, knee, etc prior to my appoinment with him on 5th October 2026. I was extremely pleased that the X-rays showed total sucess of the operation, the knee was healing well, I was no longer suffering pain. Thanks to Mr. Culplan's operation I am now able to continue with my daily routine and hopefully within further weeks I will be able to continue with my gym activities 100%.
I am very happy with the result of my ACL reconstruction surgery and with the overall experience. Everything was clearly explained to me throughout the process, and I always felt that I was in very professional and capable hands. As this was my first surgery, there was one occasion when I felt that I hadn’t fully understood the explanation and still had some questions. My surgeon was very patient and understanding and arranged a complimentary video follow-up specifically to go through everything again and answer all of my questions. I really appreciated the extra time and care. Overall, I found him to be extremely professional, patient and attentive. I am very satisfied with my result and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to others.
Dr Culpan has always been extremely professional, approachable, and supportive. He takes the time to explain everything clearly and thoroughly, making sure that any questions or concerns are fully addressed. He is also very efficient in organising follow-up appointments and ensuring that the next steps are arranged promptly. Communication is particularly easy and convenient, including via email, where the team is responsive, clear, and easy to reach. Overall, I have always felt very well looked after and confident in the care and guidance provided :)
Paul's diagnosis, explanation of treatment and communication throughout was excellent and reassuring.
Mr Paul Culpan is a valuable and trusted colleague with huge experience. I can highly recommend him.
