Hip & Knee Second Opinion
Honest, independent advice for hip and knee patients considering surgery or unsure about a diagnosis. GP referral not usually needed. Self-pay and insured patients welcome.
Diagnosis & care
Being told you need hip or knee surgery, or living with a problem that has not improved, can leave you with more questions than answers. Second opinions are a core part of Mr Oni's practice. Many patients come to him for reassurance, for a clearer explanation of their diagnosis, or to confirm that the treatment they have been offered is right for them. He gives an honest, independent assessment of your hip or knee, explains the options in plain terms, and leaves you with the clarity to make a fully informed decision about what comes next.
second opinion
Seeking a second opinion does not mean starting again. It can confirm the advice you have already received, explain alternatives, or help you understand whether treatment is needed now or later. Mr Oni has many years of experience specialising in hip & knee care, you can learn more about him here.
second opinion
If you are unhappy with a diagnosis of hip bursitis or knee arthritis or any other condition, unsure about your imaging, or not certain the options you have been given are right for you, Mr Oni takes the time to review everything, assess your hip or knee properly, and give you a second opinion that brings real clarity.
