Mr Philip Dobson MBBS, PhD, FRCS is a fellowship trained, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in knee reconstruction, knee preservation, hip and knee replacement and robotic surgery. He graduated from Newcastle University and completed his orthopaedic surgical training in the North East. He then completed a one year fellowship at Brisbane Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Centre in Queensland, Australia and a one year fellowship in major trauma surgery at John Hunter Hospital in New South Wales, Australia.
