I saw this guy https://www.samoussedik.com/ a few years back. It was just consultation/ MRI/ injection in the end - he gave surgery as an option but advised against it.
He was thorough, explained problems clearly and gave a range of options which we talked through. YMMV but if (when) problems flair up or become unmanageable, I'll go back to him

Any recommendations for a private knee/musculoskeletal consultant in London? I have historic knee problems which have flared massively in the past ~8 months. Finally got my arse into gear, NHS have been OK so far (GP appointment > xray > GP follow up to interpret Xray all within ~2 months, which isn't too bad I guess) but it sounds like up to a year for consultant appointment and with a new baby, massive puppy and a waistline that won't control itself if I can't do any exercise, I need to do whatever I can to sort it sooner than that. I have a crappy 'cash plan' health insurance thing through work, and to max the usefulness of that I need my first appointment within the next few weeks (for some reason the year runs to 25th Oct, and I get £300 annually for consultation, so want to get the first one in before then) - so yeah, any recommendations likely to have reasonable availability massively appreciated. Cheers
