Mr Walczak specialises in hip and knee replacements, keyhole knee surgery, sports injuries, anterior cruciate ligament repair and bursitis. He is also experienced in the management of knee arthritis. A keen runner and cyclist, he understands the needs of athletes and is committed to helping people of all abilities to return to sports and physical activity where possible.
Mr Walczak trained at Guy's Hospital Medical School from 1981-1987. His postgraduate training included a specialist training fellowship in hip surgery. He has held the post of consultant trauma and orthopaedic surgeon at Bromley NHS Trust since 1999 and is now employed by Kings College NHS Trust, working at Farnborough, Beckenham and Orpington Hospitals.
His special interests are lower limb joint replacement including minimal access hip and knee replacements.

The use of this approach has drastically reduced the need for blood transfusions in hip replacement surgery to less than 1 in 8 patients.

- Only based on initial assessment - Doctor, Hospital and facilities (even arranging a very short notice MRI scan) - all excellent The use of the Top Doctor app was less than satisfactory - my appointment was assigned to another patient even though I had confirmation from the App
- I didn't have the appointment because Top Doctors showed availability for when the consultant was on leave! I believe that a refund is being issued. Please can you make sure it is. Thank you.Doctor's response -My apologies for the oversight I will see to this immediately Please ring Sue on 0333 772 2063 to organise this
