About Mr Bob Chatterjee
Mr Chatterjee is both the Director of Harley Street Spine and the Director of the Spinal Unit at St John and St Elizabeth’s Hospital. He also practises at The London Clinic.
He graduated from Guy’s & St Thomas’s Hospital, London, initially training in spinal surgery at Oxford. He was awarded a Culyer Foundation research grant at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH), Stanmore where his research into bone regeneration gained a distinction.
He was awarded joint Neurosurgical and Orthopaedic Spinal Fellowship from the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) of England and completed his neurosurgical training in Cambridge. In 2010, Mr Chatterjee was appointed as a Consultant Spinal Surgeon at the Royal Free Hospitals NHS Trust where he undertook all forms of adult spinal surgery exclusively.
Mr Chatterjee’s commitment and dedication to all things spine related is evident in the approach he takes to treating each one of his patients. He believes in his patients not only understanding their back but being aware of both non-operative treatment options and operative treatment options. He takes a team-based approach, working and collaborating with outstanding physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, naturopaths, and pain management specialists to provide the most appropriate treatment solutions. Every single patient gets the same level of attention and care as he would give any member of his own family.
Among his many achievements, Mr Chatterjee is a trusted spinal advisor to the National Health Service (NHS). He is also a former President for the Royal Society of Medicine’s (RSM) Orthopaedic section, a consultant editor of several spinal periodicals and a Trustee of the charity BackCare. As a highly regarded tutor for Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery (MISS), his passion for training junior Spinal Surgeons is evident. He is also a UK tutor for AO Spine (Swiss International Standards for Spinal Surgery).
His opinion as a spinal expert is often sought globally and he has both appeared and written extensively for media and has been featured in several national newspaper articles for his expertise in spinal surgery. He also contributes regularly to spinal health and well-being magazines.
