About Mr Gareth Stables

Place of primary qualification: University of Liverpool

Mr Gareth Stables is a highly experienced knee specialist with over 20 years of dedicated service in treating knee problems. He is based at a leading hospital where he focuses exclusively on knee-related conditions, ensuring the best possible outcomes for his patients.

Mr Stables is renowned for his expertise in diagnosing and treating knee pain. He employs advanced diagnostic tools such as MRI scans and X-rays to accurately identify the root cause of knee issues. His approach is patient-centric, ensuring that individuals fully understand their condition and the available treatment options.

Believing that surgery should be a last resort, Mr Stables offers a range of non-surgical treatments. He specialises in managing knee arthritis through early diagnosis and innovative treatments, including specialist joint injections that are not available on the NHS. His goal is to help patients avoid or delay major surgery whenever possible.

When surgery is necessary, Mr Stables provides expert guidance to help patients decide if it is the right option for them. He performs a variety of surgical procedures, including knee replacement surgery, ensuring that each operation is tailored to the patient's specific needs.

Mr Stables also has a keen interest in sports injuries, helping athletes return to their activities following injuries such as cartilage tears or cruciate ligament tears. His comprehensive treatment plans aim to restore function and alleviate pain, enabling patients to get back to their active lifestyles.

Mr Stables' practice is built on two core values: approachability and patient-centred care. He embraces open communication and social media to ensure that he listens to his patients and develops personalised treatment plans. He believes in preserving the natural knee joint and offers a range of treatments to delay or avoid knee replacement surgery, particularly for younger patients.

Utilising the latest technologies and advanced techniques, Mr Stables leverages the body's own tissues to regenerate and revive joints affected by arthritis. He works closely with a team of therapists to optimise knee joint health, aiming to keep patients moving and pain-free.

Mr Stables incorporates healthcare apps and virtual consultations into his practice, ensuring that patients stay on track with their progress and have access to support whenever needed.

Appointed in 2003, he continues to provide exceptional care and expertise in knee health.
