He currently practises privately at The Chaucer Hospital, the Spencer Private Hospital (Ashford), as well as the Spencer Private Hospital (Margate). 


After successfully completing his postgraduate orthopaedic training, which he first undertook in 1985, Mr Murthy went on to undertake both general and specialist training at some of the most prestigious and well-established hospitals throughout both the UK and Ireland.

Southampton University Hospital was where he completed his specialist training in knee reconstruction and knee replacement. He had the privilege of undergoing his fellowship with two past presidents of the British Elbow & Shoulder Society (BESS).

  • From the first consultation right through to the final discharge meeting, Mr Murthy patiently listened, explained and advised. His professional yet kind and friendly attitude put any concerns I had to rest and I would be more than happy to have him as my consultant again, should I ever need it.
