About Mr Venkat Satish
Mr Venkat Satish is a Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon with extensive experience in knee, hip and lower-limb surgery. He undertook his undergraduate medical training in Bangalore, India, followed by initial orthopaedic training at a major teaching institute in North India. He moved to the United Kingdom in 1993 and completed Specialist Registrar training in Glasgow, Leicester and Oxford, including a clinical knee fellowship in Leicester and advanced training in knee reconstruction at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Oxford.
He served as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon with the Royal Air Force, reaching the rank of Wing Commander and undertaking active service in Bosnia and Iraq. After completing his military commission, he was appointed as a Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon at the Great Western Hospital in Swindon in June 2005, where he continues to practise.
Mr Satish provides surgical treatment for the full spectrum of knee conditions, including total and unicompartmental knee replacement, arthroscopy, cruciate ligament reconstruction, revision knee replacement, limb realignment osteotomy, meniscal repair, patellar stabilisation and patello-femoral replacement. He introduced computer-navigated knee replacement to Swindon and uses this technique for complex cases. His expertise also includes cartilage restoration techniques and primary hip replacement, as well as trauma and fracture surgery.
With longstanding involvement in clinical research and surgical teaching, Mr Satish has published on areas including meniscal repair and patello-femoral replacement and has taught knee replacement techniques to senior trainees.

Mr Venkat Satish interacts with patients in a friendly, professional, and clear manner. He explains complex procedures such as ACL reconstruction, meniscus surgery, and knee replacement options thoroughly, covering all details from diagnosis to recovery. Mr Satish ensures patients fully understand MRI results and potential next steps, building confidence in his expertise and recommendations. The majority of consultations and procedures managed by Mr Venkat Satish involve knee arthritis, knee pain, and various forms of knee replacement.
I had my initial consultation with Mr Satish on the 29th June. During the consultation, Mr Satish was friendly and professional and I immediately felt at ease. He listened attentively and explained everything clearly to me including findings and next steps. I subsequently had an MRI scan and Mr Satish contacted me promptly with the results. The scan unfortunately confirmed that I would need surgery but Mr Satish took the time to thoroughly explain the results, what the procedure would involve, and what recovery and rehab would look like post surgery. He answered every question I had with patience, clarity and honesty, ensuring I felt fully informed and reassured. I have the upmost trust and confidence in Mr Satish. His expertise, professionalism and compassionate approach have made what could have been a much more nerve-wracking experience easier to face. Knowing that he is my surgeon gives me more confidence going into surgery and I genuinely wouldn’t want anyone else. I cannot recommend him enough.
Mr Satish very professional. Examined my knee carefully. Fully explained the results of the MRI, and follow up treatment.
So quick and easy to book, no waiting for additional services and results, in my case X-rays. Polite, professional reception staff and a consultant with empathy, a great manner and amazing support. Everything was carefully and clearly explained and treatment is exactly when I asked for it. Perfect!
Mr Satish was absolutely lovely. He explained everything in a way I could understand. He was gentle, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. I would never want to see anyone else.
Mr Satish was friendly and kind. He explained why in my case a full knee rather than 2 partial knee replacements were recommended. He answered all my questions and I felt comfortable to accept his recommendation.
Highly recommend Mr Satish, he was thorough and explained what are the next steps and why. Everything was kept with my wishes and wellness in mind. Very happy with the service received.
Smooth transit from arriving to diagnosis and a plan. Excellent staff and surgeon.
Friendly and able to explain the next steps clearly and have me opportunity to ask questions
