Mr Asif Parkar is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Nuffield Health Brentwood Hospital, specialising in hip and knee surgery. 

Mr Parkar was trained through the prestigious Royal London Trauma & Orthopaedic training rotation programme.  He has done fellowships at the Barts Health NHS trust, London, Guy’s and St. Thomas’s NHS foundation trust, London and a North American fellowship based in Calgary. These are level one trauma centres and tertiary referral centre for complex Orthopaedic procedures.

Mr Parkar’s NHS practice is based at Queen’s Hospital and King George Hospital, London. His practice is mainly focussed around sports knee injuries, ligament reconstruction, partial knee, primary, revision total knee and total hip replacement. He offers patient specific treatment to conditions like patella instability, joint preservation surgery such as Osteotomy around knee. He is one of the few surgeons in the country with fellowship training in performing hip replacement through direct anterior approach. This is a less invasive technique of performing hip replacement which enables patients to go home same day. He is also the infection control lead for the department.
