Personalised private knee care

At Phoenix Hospital Group, our private knee specialists focus on understanding the full picture, not just your symptoms. From your first appointment, you’ll be seen by an experienced orthopaedic consultant who takes the time to listen, review your medical history and carry out a thorough knee assessment.

Your knee problem may be new or something you’ve been living with for some time. Either way, we start by understanding how it affects your day‑to‑day life. We’ll explain your options in clear, simple terms. We’ll then shape your care around your pain, mobility, lifestyle and goals to help you feel confident at each step.

Knee conditions we treat

Our private knee specialists assess and manage a broad range of knee conditions. We help to identify the cause of your symptoms, then guide the most appropriate next steps in your care.

Knee arthritis (including osteoarthritis)

Knee arthritis happens when the protective cartilage – the smooth tissue that cushions the joint – wears down over time. This can lead to pain, stiffness and swelling, often making everyday activities such as walking, climbing stairs or standing for long periods harder.

Knee pain and stiffness

Knee pain and stiffness can have many causes, ranging from overuse and muscle strain to underlying joint problems. Symptoms may come on gradually or suddenly and can affect movement, especially after rest or first thing in the morning.

Ligament injuries (including ACL tears)

Ligament injuries affect the strong bands of tissue that help stabilise the knee joint. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are a common example and often happen during sports or sudden twisting movements. These injuries can cause pain, swelling and instability.

Fractures and dislocations

Knee fractures and dislocations can follow a fall or accident. They can cause sudden, severe pain, swelling and trouble bearing weight. Prompt specialist assessment helps to guide appropriate treatment.

If you’re unsure what’s causing your knee symptoms, our consultants can arrange diagnostic imaging such as X-rays or MRI scans to reach a clear diagnosis and recommend a suitable treatment plan for you.

Our private knee pain services

At Phoenix Hospital Group, we offer consultant-led private knee care at our hospitals in London and Chelmsford, Essex. Your care begins with a thorough assessment by a specialist orthopaedic consultant, who will take the time to understand your symptoms, carry out a detailed examination and, where needed, arrange investigations to support a clear diagnosis.

Depending on your diagnosis and individual needs, your consultant will talk you through the most appropriate treatment options. For some patients, this may involve ongoing monitoring or non-surgical care, such as physiotherapy. For others, it may include specialist procedures such as knee replacement surgery when symptoms are more advanced or significantly affecting daily life.

From your initial consultation through to any follow-up care, the same consultant oversees your treatment, helping to ensure continuity and a reassuring experience throughout.

Our focus is on delivering timely assessment, clear diagnosis and personalised treatment plans in a calm and supportive environment. Whether you need further investigations or specialist treatment, we coordinate your care so it feels joined‑up, reassuring and centred around you.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about knee pain

Knee pain can be worrying, especially when it starts to affect your mobility or daily routine. Many people have similar questions when deciding whether to see a private knee specialist. We’re here to help you feel informed and reassured.

When should I see a private knee specialist?

It may be worth seeing a private knee specialist if knee pain, stiffness or swelling is affecting your daily activities, sleep or ability to stay active, or if symptoms aren’t improving with rest or simple treatments. An assessment can help clarify what’s causing your symptoms and what support may help.

Do I need a GP referral to see a private knee specialist?

In many cases, you don’t need a GP referral to book a private consultation. However, some insurance providers may require one. Our team can advise you on what’s needed when you get in touch.

What happens during my first knee specialist appointment?

Your consultation will be led by an experienced orthopaedic consultant. They’ll talk through your symptoms, medical history and how your knee pain is affecting you, before carrying out a careful examination. If needed, further tests or imaging may be discussed to help reach a clear diagnosis.

Will I need scans or investigations?

Some knee conditions can be diagnosed through clinical assessment alone, while others may require imaging such as X-rays or scans. Your consultant will explain whether investigations are recommended and why.

Does seeing a knee specialist always mean surgery?

No. Surgery is only considered when it’s appropriate for your individual situation. Many knee problems can be managed without surgery, and your consultant will always discuss all suitable options with you before making any recommendations.
