He makes you feel comfortable and follows up before and after surgery just to make sure everything is okay.

His friendly nature adds to the comfort For that I will forever be grateful. Keep it up Dr 🙏Posted on Google![]()

My husband’s recent hip fracture happened in China during a triathlon. Navigating the Chinese hospitals isn’t easy as the language and cultural barrier is considerable. Dr Paul was so very kind to assist us through-out over WhatsApp from Dubai by answering all our questions, discussing medication, mobilization protocol, assessing X-rays etc. To have somebody trustworthy as a back up to re-assure us and fine tune medication was invaluable and I can not thank Dr Paul enough. Luckily we are back in Dubai and are extremely happy to have dr Paul in charge of the after care.Posted on Google![]()

Somebody who tells you exactly how it is. When we were stuck in China seeking help pre and post hip surgery, Paul was extremely helpful with his time and advice which was very reassuringPosted on Google![]()

Dr. Paul McNamara and his team gave me an exceptional level of care throughout my hip replacement journey. After living with hip pain for around ten years, several surgeons had told me that I needed a replacement. However, I remained anxious about the operation and the recovery. When I sought another opinion and met Dr. Paul, his warm, infectious positivity immediately put me at ease. He explained everything so clearly and calmly that the prospect of surgery suddenly felt no more daunting than a routine dental appointment. I had my surgery on September 3 and spent just two days in hospital. Remarkably, I was able to walk out of the hospital after those two days. Dr. Paul, Dr. Ramesh, and Dr. Bilal were excellent. They met with me before and after the operation, never made me feel rushed, and patiently answered every question I had. What truly distinguished them from the other surgeons I had met was the genuine sense that they cared about me as a person; not simply as a patient; and about improving my quality of life. I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Paul and his entire team and would recommend them without hesitation. Thank youPosted on Google![]()

Can’t recommend Dr Paul MacNamara highly enough. He carried out my total hip replacement and is not only a tremendously skilled surgeon but also took a genuine interest in my after care. Always had time for questions, regularly called personally to check on progress and made clear that he could be contacted 24/7. Outstanding in all aspects.Posted on Google![]()

I was lucky enough to be introduced to Dr Paul Macnamara when I started to suffer knee issues after a long sporting career. Paul and his team diagnosed my case, suggested some options, and completed my surgery. The treatment I received was excellent and my recovery was 100%. I am now at the stage of returning to have my second knee replaced by Dr Paul, with full confidence that this operation shall be equally as successful.Posted on Google![]()

I had a partial meniscectomy with Dr Paul and had a very positive experience throughout. He was professional, reassuring and clearly explained the procedure, recovery process and what to expect at each stage. The surgery went smoothly, and I felt well looked after by both Dr Paul and the wider team. I really appreciated how approachable they were and how confidently they handled any questions I had. Highly recommend to anyone needing knee surgery.Posted on Google![]()

Amazing experience. Dr Paul is very caring and hands on. He changed the dressing himself. Checks everything very thoroughly. Was walking on the first day of my new knee tibia end which was not put in properly. Can believe the difference in experience this timeGoogle rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 121 reviews
