Mr Stafford is a patient-focused professional with a multidisciplinary approach to his practice, which includes further specialties such as labral tears and hip-replacement procedures including bone conservating, mini and revision hip replacement. He regularly uses custom-made, patient-specific 3D printed instruments and implants, priding himself in enhanced recovery techniques, keeping post-operative pain, lengths of stay and complications to a minimum.

Then, he completed an orthopaedic training programme at the North West Thames Foundation School at Imperial College London and is a fellow at The Royal College of Surgeons of England.

  • I saw Giles Stafford because I wanted a 2nd opinion on issue with my hips as the previous consultant hadn't filled me with any confidence. It turned out that this consultant was completely wrong on my prognosis. Giles was clearly an expert in this field. Definitely recommend

  • I highly recommend Mr Stafford to anyone with hip problems. He immediately made me feel comfortable and well looked after from the first appointment, then before, during and after my surgery, and for the aftercare that lasted for 6 months post op. I’m lucky to have found him!
