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.

I recently had an orthopaedic consultation with Dr Vivek Gulati, which included a thorough assessment and scans, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. From the outset, Dr Gulati demonstrated a highly professional, reassuring and compassionate approach. He took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, explain things clearly, and ensure I felt comfortable and well-informed throughout the consultation and scanning process. His manner, attention to detail and willingness to answer questions made the entire experience smooth, reassuring and genuinely patient-centred. What stood out most was the confidence and trust he portrayed through his professional approach and clear communication. It is reassuring to meet a specialist who takes the time to understand your concerns and makes you feel that you are in capable and caring hands. The overall experience was excellent, from the consultation to the scans, and I truly appreciated the time, care and professionalism shown throughout my appointment. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Vivek Gulati to anyone seeking orthopaedic care. His approachable manner, expertise and commitment to making patients feel heard and reassured make him a credit to his profession. Thank you, Dr Gulati.

Dr Galati was very informative and professional at the consultation meeting . Dr Gulati made me aware of my diagnosis and the treatment required to resolve the problem. Dr Gulati invited my wife into the consultation so as we were able to ask questions and resolve any concerns we may have had. I found Dr Gulati to be very approachable and professional in dealing with my case and would have no hesitation in recommending him to my friends and family Yours sincerely Noel W

I had a knee replacement surgery on my right knee. The doctor kept me calm and reassured me before and during the procedure. I didn't even feel any pain. My knee has been an ongoing issue for me but the fact that he got it done so smoothly was amazing. They really put people first.

I had an excellent stay in hospital. Mr Gulati explained everything to me before my hip replacement operation. It was obvious that I was very nervous immediately before my surgery but staff were very patient and really helped to quell my anxiety. The atmosphere in the ward was one of a community. Such a strong sense of good teamwork from Mr Gulati and his team of surgeons, to the Nursing and Catering staff. My Physiotherapists too, were very encouraging and as a result, I am making great strides towards getting back to normal just six weeks after surgery. I would wholeheartedly have no hesitation in recommending the London Independent Hospital for treatment.
