I Can Help You
"I'm your Knee Doctor, not just your knee surgeon."
My name is Gareth Stables and I am a Specialist Knee Surgeon based in Cheshire. I can help you with your knee pain.
I will help you get the right diagnosis and provide you with the best treatments to get rid of your knee pain and give you back your quality of life.
I am a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon and I have been specialising in the treatment of knee problems since 2011. My surgical training was all about managing knee injuries and I have considerable experience in performing knee replacement surgery and keyhole surgery.
My practice is based on two core values:
I am approachable and embrace social media and have an open communication pathway to ensure that I listen to my patients and we can develop a treatment plan that is right for you.
I believe that knee replacement should be a last resort. Whilst there's been many advances in knee replacement surgery and it is a very safe and effective procedure, replacement joints have a finite life span. For patients under the age of 55-60, I prefer to offer a range of treatments that will preserve your natural knee joint and delay (and in some cases, completely avoid) the need for knee replacement surgery.
I use the latest technologies and advanced techniques that utilise your body’s own tissues to help regenerate and revive joints affected by arthritis.
I have a team of therapists and we work together to preserve and optimise your knee joint to get you moving and keep you pain-free.
I use healthcare apps and virtual consultations to make sure that you are keeping on track with your progress and will be there for you if you ever have any questions.
I see myself as ‘Your Knee Doctor, Not Just Your Knee Surgeon’.
There are three main problems that I 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 - I 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, I will help you chose if surgery is right for you and I 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.
