Orthopaedics
(Bones and joints)
Mr Amit Shah – Orthopaedic Surgeon
I’ve been immersed in orthopaedics since 1998 and hold six orthopaedic qualifications — three from India and three from the UK, including the FRCS (Trauma & Orthopaedics). I’m on the GMC Specialist Register and practice as a Consultant in Trauma and Orthopaedics, with a focus on hips and knees.
Since 2003, I’ve been based in the North West, training under exceptional surgeons at leading hospitals, including Wrightington Hospital — one of the UK’s centres of excellence — where I was the John Charnley Fellow, specialising in complex hip and knee conditions.
My approach centres on clear, ethical, and practical consultations. I believe in explaining the problem simply, outlining all treatment options, and ensuring patients feel informed and supported — whether that means physiotherapy, injections, keyhole surgery, or joint replacement.
Outside of work, I’m a proud dad of two, a cricket enthusiast (mostly watching these days), a regular swimmer, and an occasional enjoyer of a fine single malt.

Well done keep it up guys 👏Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an amazing place. Staff are so kind and helpful and from the second we got there it felt the care was very personal. Mum saw Dr Dobson. Honestly can say he was the craziest, nicest Doctor I have ever met. Don't know what he is on but I could do with some of it. Thanks to all staff there for being so caring.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I met with Dr. Scholfield after being told I would be waiting 9 months to see the Cardiology Dept at the NHS. This was honestly the best thing I have ever done. I finally received a diagnosis and understanding of my condition and Dr. Scholfield was brilliant. An excellent cardiologist and takes great pride in caring for his patients.
