About Mr Krishna Boddu

My approach

My practice is evidence-based. I recommend surgery only when the likely benefits clearly outweigh the risks for you, and I explain both in plain language. Many people with hip and knee problems do well without an operation, and I will tell you if that is the case for you. If you do have surgery with me, I will look after you from your first appointment through to your follow-up after the operation.
