At Curtis Robb, we strongly believe in doing everything we can to keep our clients in peak physical condition, which means we only ever consider surgery as a last resort. Together, we work towards the same goals every day: Preservation of the knee through bespoke solutions and untiring patient care.

Until a trip to the operating room is absolutely essential, we utilise the latest techniques in physiotherapy and strength & conditioning to help patients recover naturally. If surgery is the answer, we can perform the procedure to the highest standard – offering you the greatest possible chance of a full recuperation.

Our Founder

Curtis Robb is an Olympic athlete turned Consultant Orthopaedic Knee Surgeon, specialising in all aspects of surgery. After suffering a string of injuries during his running career, he pursued an interest in managing knee problems and how to deliver better patient care.

A University of Sheffield graduate, Curtis combined his medical studies with athletics in the Nineties, proceeding to represent the country at two Olympic Games, three World Championships and a Commonwealth Games.

He moved into orthopaedic training in the years that followed, becoming an Honorary Clinical Lecturer at The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital Birmingham and winning the 2015 European Knee Society for Sports Traumatology, Knee Surgery and Arthroscopy (ESSKA) Alwin Jager Senior Fellowship in Munich.

A specialist surgeon renowned for his rapport with patients as well as his expert hands, Curtis is the man that many athletes turn to when they need their knee professionally examined.
