About Mr Peter Dacombe

Mr Peter Dacombe is a highly trained Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in the diagnosis and treatment of shoulder, elbow and upper limb conditions. He is based at The Ridgeway Hospital, alongside his NHS practice at Great Western Hospital, and manages a wide range of problems including shoulder dislocation, rotator cuff tears, frozen shoulder, arthritis, upper limb fractures, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome.

Mr Dacombe graduated from the University of Nottingham Medical School in 2007 and completed his foundation training in London. During this time, he achieved an MSc in Sport and Exercise Medicine with Distinction. He then returned to the South West of England to undertake his core and higher surgical training in the Severn region, gaining extensive experience across Bristol and surrounding hospitals.

Following completion of UK orthopaedic training, Mr Dacombe travelled to Perth, Western Australia, where he undertook a Fellowship in Upper Limb and Trauma Surgery. This advanced his expertise in arthroscopic (keyhole) shoulder and elbow surgery, shoulder replacement, soft tissue reconstruction and complex upper limb trauma.

Mr Dacombe prioritises accurate diagnosis, minimally invasive treatment and a collaborative approach to help patients achieve their individual goals.

I recently saw Mr Dacombe for ongoing shoulder pain, having arrived at my appointment unsure of the underlying cause. Mr Dacombe was exceptionally thorough, taking the time to fully investigate my symptoms and explain the exact diagnosis in clear, understandable detail. He outlined a comprehensive treatment plan, including potential future steps should my symptoms progress. Nothing was too much trouble, and I felt completely supported throughout the entire process. I left the consultation feeling reassured and confident in my care. I highly recommend Mr Dacombe to anyone seeking expert orthopedic care.

Mr Dacombe was friendly and reassuring right from our first consultation. We went through all the options which involved imaging to diagnose the tennis elbow, steroid injection, physio, a second injection and finally day case surgery. My elbow is pain-free after two years, and I was able to give him a firm handshake after my last consultation! I'd 100% recommend Mr Dacombe and his team for a smooth and successful outcome.

The appointment booking process was quick and efficient, and the responses, scans and follow-up appointments were all in good time. My condition had improved slightly by the time I saw Peter Dacombe, but he never made me feel that I shouldn’t have been there. He was thorough, professional and took the time to assess my situation properly. I was satisfied with the proposed outcome following my appointments.
