About Mr Robert Gleeson

Mr Gleeson trained at University College London Medical School gaining a BSc in Anatomy and qualifying as a doctor in 1994. After completing initial specialist training in London, he undertook a knee fellowship in Australia focused on ACL reconstruction and soft-tissue knee surgery.

Mr. Gleeson is co-founder of both the Gloucestershire Knee clinic where he specialises in arthroscopic and reconstructive surgery of the knee. He is particularly experienced in surgery for knee instability, patellofemoral dysfunction, malalignment and knee arthritis.

Mr Gleeson was excellent, clearly very experienced and knowledgable. Put me at ease even when giving me bad news about the injury I had. He was compassionate and understanding, explained everything to me and gave me the reassurance I needed. I am very grateful for the help and for fixing my knee. Thank you.

Following full knee replacement surgery I have been fairly mobile within 2 weeks of the operation. I am now walking long distances pain free (6 weeks on). I am continuing to build strength and expect to be back to normal activity very soon.

Generally a good experience. Cheltenham Hospital was better than expected, especially after a previous bad experience (in another area of medicine).
