How can I help?
Whether it’s pain on the stairs, stiffness first thing in the morning or an old injury that never settled, we start by finding the cause.
About Mr Hakimi
Most hip and knee problems can be helped without an operation. My job is to find the cause of your symptoms, talk you through every option in plain English, and help you choose what fits your life.
When surgery is the best route, you’ll be looked after by the same consultant from your first appointment to your final check-up.
Physiotherapy, injections and activity advice before surgery.
Clear options, risks and recovery times, so you can decide.
The same consultant from consultation to follow-up.

The robot assists; Mr Hakimi operates
Robotic-assisted surgery
For suitable patients, Mr Hakimi uses robotic-assisted technology for joint replacement. It helps him plan the position of your new joint and follow that plan accurately in theatre.
The position of the implant is planned around your own anatomy.
The robotic arm helps carry out the plan precisely.
Mr Hakimi performs the operation throughout. The technology assists him.
Robotic-assisted surgery isn’t suitable for everyone. Mr Hakimi will explain whether it is an option for you at your consultation.

FAQs
Can’t find what you need? My secretary will be happy to help.
Not always. Self-paying patients can book directly. If you’re using insurance, your insurer may ask for a GP referral before authorising your appointment.
A list of your current medicines, any previous X-rays, scans or reports, and your insurer’s pre-authorisation code if you are insured. Loose clothing makes it easier to examine the hip or knee.
Not necessarily. Many hip and knee problems improve with non-surgical treatment, and surgery is only recommended when it’s the right option for you.
Recovery varies from person to person. Most people are walking with support on the day of surgery or the day after, and recovery continues over the following weeks and months. Mr Hakimi will explain what to expect in your case.
Yes. Mr Hakimi is recognised by the major UK insurers. Please contact your insurer before your appointment to obtain a pre-authorisation code, and check your excess and any outpatient limits.
At the private hospital where you are seen: The Alexandra Hospital, Spire Manchester Hospital, The Highfield Hospital or Oaklands Hospital. The choice is agreed with you at your consultation.
