About Mr Vivek Gulati

Mr. Gulati is a specialist hip & knee surgeon with extensive experience in treating the whole spectrum of hip and knee problems. His practice mainly focuses on degenerative conditions, and sports injuries. He has particular expertise in robotic knee joint replacement, cutomised hip/knee replacement, complex hip/knee replacement, minimally invasive tissue sparing joint replacement surgery and young adult hip/knee disorders.

He strives to deliver the highest standards of patient care by using the most up to date evidence based technologies with a kind, compassionate bedside manner. His operative practice focuses on hip, knee, partial knee replacement and arthroscopic surgery- with an additional interest in revision (re-do) surgery. His philosophy is centred around delivering the best possible surgical outcome only when all non-operative conservative measures have been exhausted. A range of modern biologic non-operative treatments are used for symptomatic joints that are not severe enough to pursue a surgical route. He has successfully treated patients with arthrosamid injections for osteoarthritis alongside platelet rich plasma injections for various tendon pathologies. Within his NHS role he has been exposed to many younger patients with avascular necrosis some of whom have been successfully treated with hip decompression and bone substitutes.

His entire medical school training was undertaken at Cambridge University. He was successful in obtaining the Rolleston prize which led to a surgical internship at Harvard University's Massachusetts General Hospital. His orthopaedic Registrar training was undertaken via the highly competitive Imperial College North West Thames Programme. He carried out novel biomechanical research during this time using three-dimensional gait analysis to look at reasons why Osteoarthritis progresses in certain individuals only,

His research work has been published in over 30 international orthopaedic journals, such as the Bone & Joint Journal, Skeletal Radiology, Hip International, Gait & Posture, Clin Orthopaedic Related Research, and the Journal of Trauma. He was delighted to be invited to present his work at over 30 national and international conferences.

Mr. Gulati completed fellowships at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital (which is renowned for its excellence in this area of care) and St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto (a world-leading institution). Outstanding feedback from students and colleagues for medical education resulted in him being awarded an Honorary Lectureship at Imperial College London.

Very good experience with Mr Gulati overall, highly recommended. He took the time to explain my results clearly, answered all my questions thoroughly, and was really helpful throughout my appointments. He gave me great advice, not just focused on invasive measures, but practical things I can do myself, like exercise and lifestyle changes. I really appreciated the daily changes he suggested and the practical approach to my care

I was referred to Mr Gulati for my AVN. From our first appointment he was incredibly understanding and had a clear plan for treatment. During my admission at TLC he was empathetic and even spoke to my mum afterwards to reassure her and confirm the surgery was a success. Four months post-op and I have a pain-free hip. I highly recommend Mr Gulati, especially for AVN treatment.

I had my second hip replacement done a few weeks ago by Mr Vivek Gulati. As with the first hip replacement, the operation, treatment and aftercare were first rate and I have nothing but praise for his work and my resulting pain-free movement. I am truly grateful to him.

Excellent surgeon. The care that I have received, from initial consultation to post op follow ups was outstanding. Mr Gulati is very talented and a highly skilled surgeon with a caring, compassionate nature. I would highly recommend him to anyone with orthopaedic issues.

Dr Gulati attended to my mother as part of her pre operation preparation. During the visit, Dr Gulati explained the procedure to my mother and answered all her questions in plain English, thus allowing her to fully understand what would happen to her during her upcoming surgery. Importantly, Dr Gulati remembered my mother from a few years ago, which did wonders to help her feel relaxed and ease her concerns. To say my mother was over the moon at being assigned Dr Gulati for her upcoming procedure would be an understatement. This will be the second surgery Dr Gulati will have conducted on my mother and the care he shows continues to blow my mother and I away. He strikes the perfect balance between caring and being the consummate professional.

Mr Gulati organised special care for my nearly 85 year old wife's painful hip joint after a hip replacement (which had been done in another hospital out of London). The remedy he suggested was excellent and now several weeks later my wife states that the pain has basically gone. However she does have pain in her back. She told that to Mr Gulati and he at once recommended a suitable place which is prominent for treatment and said he would write to our GP. An extremely pleasant experience being treated by Mr Gulati.
