Mr Ben Spiegelberg, Consultant Surgeon

I am a Trauma and Orthopaedic specialist with a specific interest in the treatment of adult hip and knee conditions.

I qualified from St. Mary’s Medical School, Paddington in 2004 and spent my junior years of surgical training within London. I was then selected for Specialist Registrar Orthopaedic training at Guy’s and St.Thomas’ Hospital and then on the Oxford Orthopaedic registrar rotation centred at Oxford University. Following this I travelled to Canada with my family to spend a year in London, Ontario on the internationally renowned University of Western Ontario Adult Reconstruction Fellowship program. On return from fellowship I was appointed Consultant at West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust.

I see and treat acute trauma injuries and my elective practice focuses on surgery of the hip and knee. I am experienced in treating cartilage and meniscal injuries of the knee and the management of early and advanced osteoarthritis including partial, total knee replacements, robotic assisted knee replacements and revision knee replacement. My hip practice focuses on total hip replacement surgery and revision total hip surgery.

I am a determined person with a passion, enthusiasm and dedication for my speciality and my patients. I bring this into the workplace by enhancing my teamworking skills to ensure that optimal patient satisfaction and outcomes are achieved. I treat all patients with respect, dignity and empathy enabling them to feel involved in the decision-making process and understand the treatment options being proposed to them.
