About Mr Peter Gallacher
Mr Gallacher underwent his specialist orthopaedic training on the highly regarded Oswestry training programme during which he developed a sub specialist interest in surgery around the knee. He was fortunate enough to train under Dai Rees and the sports injuries team in Oswestry in addition to the knee specialists in both Stoke on Trent and Oswestry. Throughout his training he published papers on general orthopaedics and on specialist knee topics. Following completion of his specialist training he underwent fellowship knee training in Sheffield England and undertook a travelling fellowship supported by the British Association for Surgery of the Knee (BASK) in Europe visiting centres of excellence in knee surgery.

AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Mr Peter Gallacher is understanding and professional, always listening to patient concerns. Patients get excellent results from procedures like knee replacement, ACL reconstruction, and meniscal repair. He explains complex medical terms clearly, which helps patients understand their care and recovery for sport. His expertise often addresses knee pain, sports injuries, and knee arthritis.
Brilliant feedback which hopefully sets me on the road to recovery
If you want competence, confidence and expertise coupled with a personable manner, see Pete! He is an amazing consultant, so much so that I’m always happy to travel 2 hours to see!
My recent visit to see Mr Gallacher was very informative. He listened to the problems that I have been experiencing with my knee and I felt as though he truly understood my struggles . He explained in depth the composition of my knee and why the frequent dislocations could be occurring . He discussed the possible surgical options and explained the importance of completing physio exercises. I feel as though I can finally have a solution for my knee that has made me loose my confidence when playing sport and ultimately causing me to stop altogether .
From my initial consultation through to my final appointment this has been such a positive experience for me, I’ve been treated so well and I’m absolutely delighted with every aspect of my treatment, my surgery has been a game changer. I’m thrilled with the results, the treatment and care I have received. Thank you
Another wonderful experience at RHAH under the care of Mr Gallacher. Very calm, quiet bedside manner immediately putting you at ease. Would not hesitate to recommend. My surgery went completely to plan and I am well on my way to a full recovery. A brief stay in Ludlow was comfortable with attentive and efficient staff.
I came to see Mr Gallagher for a second opinion about a knee issue and he answered all my questions and hopefully we can move forward and get things sorted from here
Mr Gallacher performed my knee replacement surgery in 2015. He was absolutely fantastic - professional, kind, and thoughtful throughout the entire process and even though I was a young patient for having a knee replacement (52) this wasn’t a problem.What really stood out to me was his ability to explain everything in a way that made sense to me, taking the time to answer all my questions and concerns. His bedside manner was exceptional, and I felt truly cared for and supported every step of the way. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs orthopaedic care/surgery.
