Patient reviews
Verified 5-star reviews on Doctify
"After consultation with John., he shared his experience and in-depth knowledge of expected outcomes of my knee post full knee replacement. I felt confidence in his consultation now 10 weeks into rehab, im pleased with all aspects of the process and recommend Dr John Lynch when considering a full knee replacement."
"Mr Lynch is a friendly, calm specialist. He appears eager to improve your outcomes and has a down to earth way of explaining what is wrong and how it can be resolved. He explained the scans and used a model to show the anatomy of the knee well. Mr Lynch was a phisio therapist before he became a Dr so I received great practical advise about recovery and exercises too. I'm so pleased to have had my knee surgery under his care and my daily life is now hugely improved."
"In my recent visit Mr Lynch explain in detail what he had achieved on my latest knee replacement surgery. He took time to show me my x-rays. He also checked the flexibility of my knee and was very pleased with my progress."

Expertise
Understanding the knee is the whole job.
The knee is the largest, most-loaded joint in the body, with four bones, multiple ligaments, two menisci, and a delicate balance of movement and stability.
When one element fails, the others compensate until they can't. Diagnosing which structure is truly at fault is where careful examination and modern imaging matter.
