Mr William Bartlett
Professional statement
Mr William Bartlett is an experienced consultant orthopaedic surgeon located in central London. His specialist interest is in robotic surgery and the surgical and non-operative management of hip complaints.
Mr Bartlett trained in and around the capital and undertook his fellowship at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital. During this time, and following visitations to centres of excellence in central Europe and North America, he developed his interest in hip and knee replacement surgery, together with joint preserving techniques.
He sees a diverse spectrum of patients, ranging from teenagers to nonagenarians, with lifestyles ranging from sedentary to former Olympians. Non-surgical treatment options will always be thoroughly explored initially, often through working closely with physiotherapists, osteopaths, radiologists, sports physicians and rheumatologists.
When surgery is needed, Mr Bartlett will offer each patient a highly personalised approach, ensuring that they remain firmly at the centre of the decision-making. As many of his patients are young and active, his practice has evolved to use modern bone preserving techniques and minimally invasive surgical approaches. Particular interests include the use of 3D computer planned surgery, custom-made prostheses and partial joint replacement surgery.
Mr Bartlett leads the enhanced recovery program within his NHS hospital and is committed to ensuring that each patient recovers from surgery as quickly, safely and fully as possible. He has performed over 2,000 hip procedures and is currently conducting research into the performance of newly introduced hip replacement prostheses.

- This was my second hip replacement so, I was familiar with the process and the recovery time. This time (a different surgeon) was much more straight-forward - the pre-care was more informative; the chosen anaesthetist was excellent and recommended doing the operation under amnio (with plenty of sedatives) which was a brilliant suggestion; and the recovery rate was far quicker than the previous hip. I was out of the hospital within two days and, walking without crutches two days after that.
- I found Mr Bartlett very reassuring and professional in his approach to my hip operation. He went out of his way to listen to my concerns over pain management and I would highly recommend him.
- Mr Bartlett is second to none. Not only is he an outstanding surgeon he is also a lovely person who goes above and beyond. I had been putting off my right hip replacement .I had the left replaced years ago and was so anxious that I would not cope with the panic and anxiety that I experienced after the first operation. Mr Bartlett assured me that he would be able to keep my anxiety under control. What an excellent outcome no anxiety and a great recovery Mr Bartlett is the best of the best.
- Delightful Doctor who treats patients courteously and amazingly did not recommend surgery and guided me to alternative physiotherapy for my painful knees.
- On the recommendation of a friend on whom he had operated, I consulted Mr Bartlett about my need for a hip replacement (now done). Such a good recommendation which I am delighted to be able to pass on to others. He is hugely approachable, technically excellent, informative and kind. From my first consultation, I had absolute trust in him. He made what might otherwise have been a slightly daunting experience, entirely manageable, almost ordinary. In short, he inspires absolute confidence.
- I couldn't fault the staff - all were very attentive and caring and the physio excellent. Mr Bartlett was very reassuring which gave me every confidence in him and his team.
- Being somewhat anxious about having a large chunk of bone removed and replaced with a bit of metal, I was grateful for Mr. Bartlett’s calm reassurance. He explained the procedure in great detail, pointing out, not only the benefits but also what could (rarely) go wrong. I have seen Mr. Bartlett both privately as well in the NHS. His friendly approach and professional level of patient care was identical in both of these situations. Thank you.
