Absolutely awesome surgeon! Very personable and a brilliant at communicating on whatever level might be required. A nervous patient who may be concerned over surgery – is foremost in Dr Pauls mind. Everything is explained and all needs are met. I had a dangerous knee revision with Dr Paul – when other surgeons were too nervous to do it. He told me all the risks but assured me he could do it. I walked out of the hospital with no crutches 48 hours after surgery and didn’t look back. He then went on to do a total knee replacement 6 months later on my other knee. Walked out with no crutches after 24 hours and never looked back. Yes – I did follow advice to do all the necessary exercises etc. but his direction was sound and seems to have left me up and raring to go age 64.
Dr Paul Macnamara who specialises in Hips & Knees surgery is outstanding. I suffer from severe Osteoarthritis so last year in May I had a left knee replacement with Dr Paul. 2 mths later I had my right knee replacement surgery which was far more complicated due to the angle of my lower leg from arthritis. Dr Paul performed amazing surgery on both my knees. I walk normally with straight legs. His aftercare of his patients is excellent and one can ask any questions. Next month he is doing my surgery for the 3rd joint – a Left Hip Replacement. I have complete trust and faith in Dr Paul who is an excellent surgeon.
Dr Macnamara is an extremely competent, skilled surgeon. After my hip operation, he had me up and walking within two hours, which was a great start to my recovery. The after care I received was also exceptional and I highly recommend him.
Over the years I suffered severe knee pain. Met different doctors in Dubai that would try to sell me all sorts of “medicines” (usually not covered by insurance). Dr Paul was the first that did not try to sell me a medicine or a surgery, and instead was genuinely interested in my recovery by suggesting simple home exercises. My knees are finally on its recovery phase.
After suffering a torn ACL, MCL and cartilage during a football match in Dubai during October 2021 I contacted kings college hospital in dubai hills for an assessment and MRI. I was scheduled to see Paul the following day and immediately was put to ease that I was in the correct hands. Paul made sure my X-ray and MRI was completely immediately and that the damage to my knee was repaired to the highest standard. During the process, Paul was always available to answer any queries I had about the procedure or rehab. My knee was repaired and I have completed a full season with no reoccurrence of injury to my knee and no pain. Paul is not only a fantastic surgeon who ensured the entire process was managed smoothly which helped calm any nerves going into the operation but also a very down to earth and sound bloke. Thanks for all the help over the past year Paul!
Dr Paul performed a total knee replacement on my left knee in August 2022. He uses a rapid recovery technique which had me walking unaided 3 hours after the operation and my first physiotherapy 2 hours after that. I never had the need for crutches or even a stick at any stage of my recovery.
My new knee is far stronger than the original and completely pain free for the first time in years. I can walk, cycle and gym without any limitation. Long hikes are now easy.
I recommend Dr Paul and his surgical skills very highly.
Just over a year ago, Dr. Paul’s initial advice and explanations gave me the confidence to have the hip replacement procedure l had been putting off for too many years. Mobility improved almost immediately with only minimal physio and the scar has all but disappeared. What l appreciated above all was Dr. Paul’s accessibility – all my dumb questions were answered rapidly, some literally within minutes. I told him at the time he must be the least pompous surgeon anyone has ever had the pleasure of being treated by.
I am a former High Jumper and runner who suffered from severe osteo-arthritis in my right hip. I had been told my several doctors that I needed a hip replacement at younger age but that the recovery process would be long and hard. Doctor Paul was the opposite to every other doctor I had seen. He was positive, optimistic and incredibly supportive. My operation and recovery was smooth sailing and I have never looked back. Doctor Paul still checks how I am doing one year later. I am running, cycling, going to the gym and doing all of the things that other doctors said I would not be able to do.
I had a full knee replacement 5 years ago which was perfect. I am 72 and able to play golf 4 times a week. On average I walk 250-300 kilometers per month with no problems. My wife had same a year later and hers is perfect as well. Paul is was excellent pre and post surgery.
I have seen Dr Paul 2 years ago for my knee and recently for my hip , he is amazing doctor explain everything very well and gives you options not only surgery! However my friend had a surgery with him and she was walking same day! And her recovery was very fast and smooth!
I highly recommend Dr Paul
Dr Paul Macnamara takes interest in his patients. I was going to do my total knee replacement surgery with him 2 years ago but last minute decided I was not ready and he was very polite and told me it’s fine I can think about it and whenever I am ready he will do it.
Dr Paul is an exceptional surgeon and person.
After many years in pain, I had a full hip replacement in January 2022. Dr Paul’s professionalism and enthusiasm alongside his dedication ensured I had the best outcome that was suited to me.
I received very sound advice, pre and post-operative care and follow on checks to make sure my full recovery was going well.
I can not thank and recommend Dr Paul enough as the operation was a complete success and life-changing. I was immediately pain-free and I am now able to live a very active lifestyle again.
Fantastic and amazing, thank you.
