Mr Gareth Stables has been looking after people with knee problems for over 18 years. What he's noticed over the years is that consultants who specialise in one thing tend to have the best results. That’s why he chose to only look after and help people with knee problems.
There are three main problems that Mr Stables can help you with:
Diagnosing your knee pain - getting to the bottom of what’s causing the pain, arranging investigations such as MRI scans and X-rays, making sure you understand what the problem is and helping you fix it.
Knee arthritis - He can help diagnose knee arthritis early and will be able to offer treatments such as specialist joint injections (that are not always available on the NHS).
Early diagnosis and treatment can help you avoid major surgery. If you need surgery, such as a knee replacement, he will help you decide if surgery is right for you, and, will only perform the surgery that is right for you.
Sports injuries - for example, helping you get active and playing again after a cartilage tear or cruciate ligament tear.

Knee Replacement
Great having knee replacement and everything went very well. Recovery so far has been very good after 6 weeks. I found Gareth easy to talk to and very approachable. Plenty of regular excercises is the key to a good recovery.

Torn Meniscus (Cartilage) Knee injections (including steroid, hyaluronic acid, PRP and nStride) MRI Scan (Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan)
In eight days I saw Mr Stables twice for my knee problem. In this time I had an x-ray, an MRI scan, and finally a not too painful injection. Mr. Stables explained my condition carefully, answered my questions thoughtfully, and set out my options clearly. I have a hearing problem, and the support of his team in getting permission from hospitals for my wife to accompany me ( given the pandemic)was very helpful.

Patient seen for:
Knee Pain Arthritis (Knee)
I had suffered with knee problems for a number of years. Most of the pain was a grumbling pain that became more acute when the knee was under stress. I had attended numerous sessions with physiotherapists and the issue was usually resolved after exercising and strengthening the knee. However, my knee is quite weak and various issues recurred and recurred. I asked to be referred to Gareth Stables as he stated in his resume that if he could resolve issues without surgery he would do his utmost best to! And he did. I had a collagen injection into the knee which has improved my symptoms considerably. I am delighted with the result. Gareth is so personable and professional and whilst surgery could have been an option he was adamant that other avenues should be explored beforehand. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

i contacted Mr Gareth Stables for options on my right knee as i should have had a knee replacement but the week before got an infection and sepsis. I had been told an operation was now not possible but wanted to discuss various options available. i receive all the standard e mails explaining different options and then had a free 10 minute conversation. Gareth was very professional and knowledgeable whilst being easy to talk to and discuss options. He went through my various options clearly and precisely. At the end of the conversation i felt he had covered all my options honestly and truthfully and i can now make a decision regarding my next step.

I have been to the clinic a few times now and even though it’s never great to be seen for any condition, it is made better by being seen by someone that makes the process quick and simple. Explains what is happening clearly and makes sure you understand. I would definitely recommend.
