Mr
Simon Gregg-Smith
Orthopaedics
Professional profile
Mr Gregg-Smith is a specialist in shoulder surgery providing a
full range of surgical and outpatient treatments.
He studied at Corpus Christi College, Oxford before qualifying
as a doctor at the John Radcliffe Hospital. He did some of his
junior surgical training in Bath before returning to Oxford to
specialise in orthopaedic surgery. He then spent a few years in an
academic post at Oxford University, carrying out teaching and
research as well as surgery, before taking up a consultant post in
Bath in 1995.
Mr Gregg-Smith now has a specialist practice dealing only with
the shoulder. He provides the full range of surgical and outpatient
treatments, including keyhole (arthroscopic) surgery and
resurfacing shoulder replacements.
He remains at the forefront of injury and fracture surgery,
continuing to research, teach and train nationally and
internationally.
Mr Gregg-Smith strongly believes that truly excellent
results in shoulder conditions can only be achieved by a
partnership between patient, surgeon and physiotherapist and that
the key to this is mutual communication and understanding.
