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.

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.

Follow up from a steroid injection. All symptoms relieved after treatment. Very happy he got the treatment right straight and everything worked out pretty quickly. No need for further visits but is more than happy to see me again if symptoms return

I rate my experience a 5/5. My labrum repair surgery went well and the recovery process has been going as expected. My advice would be to follow the physiotherapy plan, and be patient with recovery.
