Mr Shah has been involved in orthopaedics since 1998. He has 3 orthopaedic degrees from India, 3 from the UK (including the FRCS in trauma and orthopaedics) and he is a GMC-registered consultant in trauma and orthopaedics.
His specialist interest is in hips and knees, and he believes that narrowing his focus in this way allows him to deliver better outcomes. His focus is on delivering an ethical and sensible consult to start with. An ability to explain the pathology in simple terms and then laying out the options available is vital to this.
With hips and knees, He deals with all pathologies including sports injuries, painful or unstable joints due to early wear and tear, and severe forms of arthritis. Treatment options may range from gaining an understanding of the problem and choosing a conservative approach, to physiotherapy or injections to the joint or surrounding area, to keyhole surgery and various forms of joint replacements.
Mr Shah has been working in the NorthWest since 2003 and has enjoyed learning from some excellent surgeons in some well-run hospitals. This includes working at Wrightington Hospital, one of the centres of excellence for orthopaedic work, as the John Charnley Fellow learning how to tackle complex hip and knee problems.
Mr Shah is a father of two- a teenage son and a younger daughter (who still thinks he is great). In his free time, he loves watching and playing cricket and swimming and spending time with his children.

A totally great outcome to my operation, everything from check in to check out was fantastic. At my follow up appointment Mr Shah was very accommodating answering all my questions and concerns.

Mr. Shah well informed me about the options available to me and about the operation. He took time to speak both to me and my husband. I was pleased that he did my operation.

Mr Shah has performed knee replacement procedures on both of my knees. I cannot praise him and his team at The Spire highly enough. His professional and personal treatment before during and after the procedures was first class and I would not hesitate to recommend him and his team to perform any similar procedures.

I would just like to say that I was in terrible pain the whole time with my hip problems. As soon as I had each hip replacement operation the pain on that side disappeared immediately. A fantastic job well done. Thank you Mr Shah.

Friendly but professional. Clear explanations.

I couldn't rate Mr Shar highly enough. A brilliant professional & great friendly chap that made me feel relaxed & confident to place my trust in him. He guided me all the way though my treatment, new exactly what he needed to do with my left hip & slightly miss aligned pelvis (Causing me to always limp) within a minute or two of chatting with him. Though choice, i was back home after 30hrs of originally leaving home for my hip replacement operation, thinking i was going to be in hospital for 2-4 days. I was walking gingerly with a frame or crutches after 4-5 days. Im nearly 4 months on from my hip replacement. Ive started back in the gym & cycling. More importantly, without a limp anymore. I'll be straight back to Mr Shar if my right hip goes too or a knee. Fingers crossed it's neither! Long may it continue. Thank you Mr Shar, Darrell

Right through from the initial consultation to the completed procedure, (total hip replacement) it was truly a wonderful journey and one that has not only changed my quality of life but relieved me of intense pain and inability to walk unaided. A really easy chap to speak with and very decisive, no dithering. A very recommendable highly skilled surgeon in his field and l am so grateful to this gentleman.

I cannot thank Mr Shah enough and I am absolutely delighted with his hip operation for me. Mr Shah was very reassuring at every stage and I believe my good outcome was from the confidence he gave me. I have a fully functioning, pain free hip with minimal scarring. Thank you so much.
