Professional statement
Mr Ronald van Heerwaarden is an industry-leading consultant orthopaedic and specialist knee surgeon.
Mr van Heerwaarden is a globally recognised authority for his innovative approach to knee osteotomy, limb deformity correction and knee joint preservation. In fact, he is one of the few surgeons worldwide to have dedicated his entire practice to these three specialisms. His clinics are in London, Abu Dhabi and the Netherlands and he is frequently invited to perform surgery around the world.
Not only are adults referred to him for post-trauma limb deformities and joint preservation treatment for conditions such as knee osteoarthritis, but also children aged 12-18 for the treatment of lower limb bone deformities. Approximately 80 per cent of his current caseload is patients referred from other surgeons seeking his expert opinion and course of treatment.
He has worked as a consultant specialising in knee osteotomy in the International Knee and Joint Centre in Abu Dhabi since 2016, when he also moved to Kliniek ViaSana, in Mill, the Netherlands to start a new Centre for deformity correction and joint preserving surgery. In recent years, he has expanded his practice to London at the well-known Orthopaedic Specialists (OS) clinic.
Mr van Heerwaarden is a pioneer in the development of new surgical techniques and instruments. He is also a highly sought-after speaker, teacher and much-published author in his field. He is particularly recognised as a teacher and innovator in the area of limb deformity corrections.

At first glance, Mr Van Heerwaarden seems to be a very nice man, prior to any surgery. Post-surgery, he will not communicate and hides behind the fact that he is not based in the UK. He will not communicate - nor correct the errors of his surgery and has crippled a patient.

I recently had to undergo surgery on my right knee. I suffered with knee pain for years and it was affecting my ability. The result has been life changing. The surgery was run smoothly and professionally and I was very well looked after by the whole team.

Dr Ronald van Heerwaarden is a very compassionate and competent surgeon who has given me faith and confidence throughout my treatment. Without his surgery, I would still be struggling to walk. I cannot thank Dr van Heerwaarden enough.
