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.

- 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.
- Excellent visit with Dr Bartlett for my knee. He was professional, thorough, and explained everything clearly. I felt listened to and reassured, and left confident about the treatment plan. Highly recommended. Amazing staff as well.
- Was a great experience despite it being a visit to the doctor! Loved the fact that he was so thorough, friendly and best of allwent from being in pain to feeling like new
- I couldn't fault any aspect of my treatment. At every level I was treated with respect and professionalism. I had total confidence in the procedure and the outcome has exceeded my expectations.
- My experience of the treatment was excellent and recovery has been very fast.
- Mr. Bartlett is a 10/10. Whilst he is primarily a hip specialist, I saw him for knees. He listened and examined me with care and attention to detail. At the next meeting, we discussed my MRI in granular depth and the care pathway was clearly described to me. My impression is that of someone who has found their niche and enjoys doing their job to a high standard. He has a professional yet caring bedside manner, no discernable medical ego and demonstrates comittment to solving problems.
- Excellent all round
