Recognition is a useful signal, not a guarantee. The point of a consultation is to find out whether Professor Lee is the right surgeon for your specific hip.
The same answer for every patient is a marketing line. The right answer depends on the hip in front of you and the life on the other end of it.
Care under a single clinical standard
Team led by Professor Lee.
Professor Lee is the clinical lead at SPAIRE Hips. He sets the assessment criteria, the surgical technique, the rehabilitation plan and the standards your follow-up is measured against. The hip team who deliver your care are selected and trained to that standard, so every patient gets the same protocol regardless of who they meet on the day.
