The Good Stuff
Clear explanations
He explains the procedure, rehabilitation and risks in detail, giving patients time to understand their options before deciding.
Non-surgical options
Reviews include cases where he recommended physiotherapy or observation instead of immediately operating.
Responsive follow-up
Patients report prompt replies to questions during recovery, including communication across a 10-hour time difference.
Sports injuries
ACL reconstruction and revision patients describe feeling informed, supported and reassured through surgery and rehabilitation.
Hands-on care
One patient specifically noted that he changed the dressing himself and checked everything thoroughly after knee surgery.
Tips for a Better Visit
Ask alternatives. If you are worried about surgery, ask whether physiotherapy or injections could help; one patient was prescribed physio before later receiving injections.
Discuss anaesthesia. Ask which anaesthetic approach suits your case. One hip patient chose local anaesthetic and was walking with a frame in under two hours.
Plan physio. Ask how physiotherapy will fit into recovery; one patient began pre-operative strength work and continued with the same therapist afterward.
Use follow-up. Keep questions ready for recovery, as several patients found him reachable by phone or WhatsApp for prompt advice.
Take your time. A second-opinion patient received pros and cons without pressure, so use the consultation to understand whether timing is right for you.

The Bottom Line
Dr Paul Macnamara is an orthopedic surgeon in Al Barsha South, with reviews centred on hip replacement, knee replacement, ACL reconstruction and meniscus surgery. Patients describe a clear consultation style, quick replies and close post-operative attention. The strongest recurring theme is early movement: examples include standing two hours after a total hip replacement, walking unaided three hours after a total knee replacement and climbing stairs shortly after knee surgery.
The reviews also suggest that surgery is not treated as the automatic answer. One patient with troublesome knees was sent for physiotherapy first, while another with an ankle fracture was observed rather than operated on. That makes the initial consultation useful for discussing timing, alternatives and the likely rehabilitation plan—not just booking a procedure.
Recovery support is a major part of the experience described. Patients mention guidance on physiotherapy, medication checks, dressing changes and direct phone or WhatsApp contact. Some also used OrthoPro in Science Park for physiotherapy and follow-up checks.
Anaesthesia is worth discussing in advance: patients report spinal or local anaesthetic approaches linked with rapid mobilisation. There are no customer-reported prices in the supplied reviews, so confirm fees, hospital arrangements and rehabilitation costs directly before booking.
