Mr Sood is a renowned Specialist hip and knee surgeon who has been in Specialist Consultant Practice since 2004. He deals with all hip and knee issues as well as sports injuries. He treats all lower limb sports injuries and tendon pain, particularly tendinopathies. He also has considerable expertise in knee arthroscopy, ACL reconstruction, cartilage regeneration procedures, and hip and knee replacement (including revision and complex cases).
He is proud to have been awarded both the Top Doctors Certificate of Excellence for his patient ratings in 2020 and 2022, the iWantGreatCare Certificate of Excellence in 2021 and 2022 and The Doctify award for outstanding patient experience in 2024, 2025 and 2026. He has also been recognised by his NHS Trust with the award of 3 Clinical Excellence Awards.
Mr Sood is a firm believer in preserving native joints (joint preservation) by reconstructing joint damage using cartilage regeneration techniques and biological therapies. He is also, however, an expert hip and knee joint replacement surgeon when arthritis is too advanced for joint preservation. His data from the National Joint Registry shows that he has excellent patient outcomes and a very low risk of complications.
Mr Sood has excellent communication skills and provides his patients with jargon-free explanations of their problems. He assesses his patients very carefully and organises specialist scans when needed to arrive at an accurate diagnosis. He only works with a very select team of specialist radiologists to ensure high-quality scan interpretation. After diagnosis, he provides a clear, individualised treatment plan for his patients that considers their individual circumstances and their exercise/activity goals. He offers a wide range of treatment choices suited to each patient, including non-surgical options. His extensive experience allows him to diagnose and treat rarer conditions, and he is often sought out to provide second opinions. In his referral practice, he manages the most complex and challenging cases, such as hip and knee replacements that have failed and must be redone. Mr Sood runs a hip and knee unit at Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and has earned three Clinical Excellence Awards for his work.
Mr Sood treats all lower limb sports injuries in athletes and weekend warriors and also has an interest in the treatment of tendon pain, especially tendinopathies.
Mr Sood graduated from Guys Hospital in 1992 and went on to train at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH), where he became a clinical lecturer in the Professorial Unit. In 2004, he received additional specialist training in hip and knee surgery at two centres of excellence in North America: The Mayo Clinic and Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was mentored by two of the world's best hip and knee surgeons. He has worked in Specialist Consultant Practice since 2004.

My wife and I have been seeing Mr Sood for over 10 years, he is very experienced professional and we totally trust him.
Mr Sood is very knowledgeable and professional. His advice is clear and to the point. I consider him a real expert.
I first saw Mr Sood about 3 years ago. At that time we agreed that knee surgery was not urgent. Last October my knee became appreciably worse. My next consultation with Mr Sood in October 2025 was professional, precise and he took trouble to outline what I could expect from a total knee replacement. The surgery was carried out in February and has, so far, well exceeded my expectations. Mr Sood has at all time treated me with courtesy, respect and with the utmost professionalism.
Mr Sood was very professional and very clear speaking (which helps a lot when you're hearing is reduced, as mine is)
Mr Sood understood my pain in my knee, patiently explained to me what shockwave treatment do also tried to understand my arthritis background
Mr Sood is excellent at explaining the procedure and happy to answer any questions in a matter of fact way. The surgery went well, so I'm looking forward to the improvement in mobility and reduction in pain as I recover from surgery. I can then turn my mind to getting the other hip replaced under Mr Sood!
Right knee Sinogel injection Painless injection completed in seconds. No problem.
Mr Sood was easy to talk to, he listened to what I said and asked appropriate questions to get a better understanding of my leg problem. I had a lot of pain every day in my leg which could not bear any weight on it, and it left me limping , standing on one leg and greatly restricted what I could do. I had been told by a physio that it was probably due to knee arthritis. After the consultation Mr Sood arranged for me to have Xrays of my knees and hips and invited me back to discuss his findings. He showed me the X Rays and explained that the pain was most likely from my hip rather than my knee, which had less wear and tear. I was rather surprised as I had no pain from my hips but it explained why all my knee exercises had just made things worse. He said it was not yet bad enough for surgery, but there was a treatment which may help me. He needed to do an ultrasound guided hip injection to confirm the diagnosis, which I agreed to. This was successful and I went on to have the longer lasting injection of sinogel into the hip again using ultra sound guidance. It took a couple of weeks to take effect, but now I can stand and walk on both legs and most of the pain has gone. I now only get occasional pain in my knee when I have got too confident and done too much. I can now walk properly and have resumed my workouts which all help with getting stronger. I isn't a permanent cure, lasting between 6 months and a year, but it has changed my life. I can do so much more and feel so much better. Sometimes I just stop and remind myself of how limited I was, and how much pain I had b...
