Self-pay surgery

what private hip and knee surgery costs in Kent

Private joint replacement is usually quoted as a fixed-price package covering the surgeon, anaesthetist, implant, hospital stay and routine follow-up. As a guide, a hip or knee replacement package at the hospitals Mr Oni operates from is typically in the region of £15,000 to £17,000, with Nuffield Health Tunbridge Wells usually a little below The Horder Centre. Your exact figure depends on the procedure, the implant and your length of stay, and the practice will give you a written quote after your consultation.

Revision surgery is quoted case by case because the implants, theatre time and length of stay vary. Mr Oni assesses every revision himself and the practice sets out each component of the estimate in writing.

Comparing quotes

what makes one quote different from another

01

what the package includes

Some quotes are surgeon-only. A fixed-price package should say whether the anaesthetist, hospital stay, implant, theatre time and post-operative physiotherapy are all inside the figure.

02

length of stay and follow-up

Check the expected length of stay, what happens to the price if you need longer, and whether follow-up appointments are included and for how long.

03

who actually operates

In some private models the consultant you meet at consultation is not the surgeon in theatre. Mr Oni sees, assesses and operates on every patient himself.

04

complications and pre-op tests

A reputable package states what is covered if a readmission or further procedure is needed. Blood tests, X-rays, MRI and pre-assessment are often charged separately, so ask whether they sit inside the quote.
