About
Mr Gordon Shepard is a respected Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in knee surgeries and sports injuries.
His experience covers studying and training in the Uk and also with world-renowned surgeons in Sports and Arthroplasty Surgery in Boston, Denver and Adelaide. After 16 years at the Royal Bolton Hospital, he left to pursue non-emergency surgery for the NHS.
He has an interest in regenerative and reconstructive techniques and has practised what is now becoming known as biological surgery. He has over a two decades of experience in these techniques.
Mr Shepard was appointed as one of the sports orthopaedics consultants to the Commonwealth Games in Manchester in 2002 although a call-up to serve as a surgeon in the Army prevented him from taking up this post. He has also provided orthopaedic surgical services to professional football clubs in the northwest of England.
