About me
I’m Caesar Wek, a Dorset based Consultant Orthopaedic Hip and Knee Surgeon, and I specialise in helping people who have hip and knee arthritis.
My goal is to help you lead an active and pain-free life, ideally without the need for an operation. However, if hip or knee replacement surgery is the best option for you, I combine the most up-to-date surgical techniques with a holistic treatment plan to achieve the best outcomes for you.
I am proud to work as an NSH Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Dorset County Hospital, and in my Private Practice, I specialise in primay and revision hip and knee joint replacement surgery.
My Approach
CLEAR
My patients value my clear explanations and avoidance of medical jargon as this helps them to make informed decisions.
CALM
You will never feel rushed during my appointments and will always have an opportunity to ask questions.
COMPASSIONATE
My aim will always be to understand your goals and how I can help you to achieve these.

My Training and Experience
After graduating from the University of Manchester Medical School, I obtained a BSc (Hons) in Orthopaedic Sciences from University College London. I completed my specialist orthopaedic training there, including placements at King’s College Hospital and Guy’s & St Thomas’ Hospitals.
After being awarded a Fellowship from the Royal College of Surgeons in 2020, I further honed my skills by completing the Royal Bournemouth Hip Fellowship and the Revision Hip & Knee Replacement Fellowship at St. George’s Hospital in London.
