Mr Rakesh Kucheria is a highly-experienced consultant orthopaedic surgeon with a special interest in hip and knee replacements and revision surgery in the London area. Mr Kucheria is renowned for pioneering simultaneous double-knee replacement surgery and robotic assisted surgery, resulting in a quicker, safer operation and a much faster recovery time for patients. He performs more than 350 hip and knee replacements (including primary and revision surgery) each year in both his NHS and private practices, which according to the National Joint Registry places him in the top few percent of UK surgeons. Other areas of specialist interest include reconstruction after trauma, soft tissue injuries and acute back problems.

Mr Kucheria originally graduated from University of Dehli in 1990 before moving to the UK to pursue training at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore, and the Royal London Hospital. Since 2003, Mr Kucheria has been an orthopaedic consultant at Heatherwood and Wexham Park hospitals, now part of Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust. He has been regularly recognised by the Trust with Clinical Excellence Awards. In addition, he leads the enhanced recovery programme in both his NHS and private practices. He is now the GIRFT lead for hips and knees in the Trust.
More recently in his experience, Mr Kucheria has been performing robotic-assisted surgical procedures; he has accomplished more than 200 of these successfully.
