He holds an NHS consultant post at Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and the Mexborough Elective Orthopaedic Centre, with additional private practice at Spire Methley Park Hospital.
Mr Salih graduated with honours from the University of Oxford in 2012 and went on to complete higher surgical training on the South Yorkshire Trauma and Orthopaedics Rotation, achieving his Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) in 2024.

Mr Salih performs surgery using implants and techniques with strong evidence-based outcomes and proven long-term performance.
Following completion of his CCT, he undertook advanced fellowship training in revision joint replacement, complex primary hip and knee arthroplasty, and robotic-assisted joint replacement using the Stryker MAKO system.
Known for his calm, thoughtful and patient-centred approach, Mr Salih places great emphasis on shared decision-making. He ensures every patient has a clear understanding of their diagnosis, the benefits and risks of all available treatments, and the timing that best aligns with their needs and lifestyle.

I have got my life back thanks to Mr Salih, I am free of pain, both my legs are the same length and I am back to walking my dogs again, and my life is normal. Thank you
Good and better than expected. Pain was 8 out of 10 before the operation, now it's 2 out of 10 and every week has been getting better and movement and walking so much easier now.
Absolutely brilliant. Pain has gone, everything went well and I was looked after really well at the hospital. I am getting my other knee done and I am happy to wait for Mr Salih to do this even if it takes a little longer
My new knee is smashing and I am walking so much better. Mr salih was extremely profession kind and attentive. There was pain after the operation as there always is but it was managed really well with physiotherapy and tablets. I can walk without a stick now and get up and down stairs. I am back on the list now to have my other knee done next year.
From day one Mr Samir Ali Salih was absolutely brill. Everything went smooth and to plan. I had very little pain afterwards so he must have done a good jo with the operation. The aftercare has been brilliant as well, everything brill!
Very peased and very happy with everyone that was involved in doing my hip, especially Mr Samir Ali Salih. Im now walking a bit further now outside and getting around the supermarket with my wife. I cannot thank Mr Salih enough for my new hip and treating my pain.
I came in to hospital with pain, I left hospital without pain. I am walking better, and continue to get better every week. I am really happy with the outcome of my joint replacement and now waiting to have the other side done.
Mr Samir Ali Salih performed my hip replacement He was easy to talk to and very friendly He explained everything and showed me xrays afterwards
I couldn’t have been more impressed with Mr Samir Ali Salih whose professionalism, warmth and approachable manner made the whole experience reassuring from start to finish. I’m 100% delighted with my new hip and my recovery has been better than expected and the outcome has already exceeded what I was told to anticipate for which I’m extremely grateful. 🙏
Perfect, i couldn't walk without pain before my hip replacement. Now I can walk without pain! Sleeping better, no stick, no crutches.
