About Mr Phillip Edge

Mr Phillip Edge has over 25 years experience as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon within the NHS where his expertise was recognised by his peers and registrar trainees, as well as by the NHS in rewarding him with 7 Clinical Excellence Awards. 

He now works solely within the private sector. Mr Edge regularly performs surgery in both upper and lower limb including hip and knee replacements and knee arthroscopy. He also has extensive experience in treating hand and foot problems such as carpal tunnel release, bunions, tennis elbow, to mention a few. He practices privately at the BMI Manor Hospital (Biddenham), Bridges Clinic (Bedford Hospital) and the Harley Street Clinic (Great Denham, Bedford).

Mr Edge regularly meets with Orthopaedic colleagues from other NHS Trusts in order to widen his exposure to other schools of thought and practice. He is an excellent communicator and excels in passing on his knowledge to colleagues both practically and in theory. He has been nominated as Trainer of the year in East Anglia and runs several well recognised national courses for Advanced Physiotherapists. His communication skill with regards to his patients is equally good. He believes in explaining things clearly, using appropriate language, explaining all treatment options (both surgical and non-surgical), and recommending a personalised course of action which will provide the best outcome for each patient.

Phillip qualified in medicine in 1984, Cape Town, South Africa, where he also undertook and completed his specialist orthopaedic training in 1996 at the highly renowned Groote Schuur Hospital. He was then appointed as an Orthopaedic and Trauma Consultant at the Luton and Dunstable Hospital, and in 2000 moved to Bedford Hospital.

Mr. Edge is more than willing to see patients with a range of orthopaedic issues, and holds clinics along side his excellent team to provide first class service.

On my initial visit, I was told exactly what was wrong and what treatment I required. On the day of the procedure, everything was again explained to me and I was asked if I understood. I therefore felt very confident and relaxed about the whole experience and would recommend Mr Edge unreservedly.

I adore Mr Edge- he is absolutely direct and honest ( but with a twinkle) no reading between the lines. Which matters to me And the three joint replacements I have had with him have been great.

Mr P. Edge - Simply The Best I cannot praise Mr Edge highly enough. From my very first consultation through to my surgery and all the way to my recent six week follow up and discharge, the care I received has been outstanding. Mr Edge is clearly a leading expert in his field - his skill as a surgeon is second to none. What truly sets him apart is his kindness, patience, and the way he takes time to explain everything clearly and put your mind at ease. He treated me with such respect and care at every step of my journey. Thanks to his expertise, my recovery is going extremely well and my wound has healed beautifully, my movement is excellent and is improving everyday. I am getting my confidence back. I feel so fortunate to have been u dear his care. Mr Edge is simply the best. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Thank you, Mr Edge for giving me my mobility back.

Prior to my operation for a right hip replacement by Mr Phillip Edge we had a very explicit and detailed conversation- every step of the process was covered. The operation went well and my recovery time was excellent- well within the 6 weeks time frame. My care at The Manor with Mr Edge, the staff and the physio team were of the highest standard- professional, helpful, caring and supportive. I would thoroughly recommend Mr Phillip Edge and The Manor for anyone considering orthopaedic surgery.

Mr Edge clearly explained the procedure and the risks involved. He also emphasised that there would be a lot of pain associated with this operation. My operation went well and both Mr Edge and my physiotherapist are pleased with my post operation progress. (6 weeks) For anyone considering this operation it is well worth the end result, but to achieve this you must listen to the professional advice given and be prepared to work hard with the exercises and put up with a lot of pain. I would like to thank Mr Edge and his team for performing, in my case, life changing surgery.

Mr Edge has been great throughout from consultations to surgery. He’s an ultimate professional who is very laid back and puts you at ease at all stages. He operated on my knee and found further wear which was undiagnosed before. Should he still be operating when this needs sorting in the future, I will have no hesitation in getting Mr Edge to be my surgeon.
