About

Miss Julie Kohls is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon who specialises in Foot and Ankle Surgery and has worked at the Royal Surrey Hospital, Guildford since July 2007. Julie sees all manner of Foot and Ankle problems from the minor to the very complex. Many Foot & Ankle conditions need a specialist assessment to guide the physiotherapy and other treatments such as orthotic treatment but will not require surgery. However, when surgery is required Julie uses the latest recognized surgical techniques to treat patients including keyhole surgery. Julie has carried out over 6000 Foot and Ankle procedures.

Julie set up a private practice in 2016 and is committed to delivering excellent care by working together with patients, orthotists and physiotherapists.

Julie is Canadian and she qualified in medicine at the University of Western Ontario in 1996 followed by an Orthopaedic surgery training program at the University of Toronto. After arriving in London in 1999, Julie completed her training in Orthopaedic surgery on the London North West training program. In 2007 Julie became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England (FRCS (Tr & Orth). Julie completed 18 months of Fellowship Training in Foot and Ankle Surgery.
