He is a consultant at Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust (Heatherwood and Wexham Park) and works privately at The Princess Margaret Hospital in Windsor and Spire Thames Valley Hospital.

Mr McGarvey graduated from Cambridge University and completed his specialist orthopaedic training at Guy’s, King’s, and St Thomas’s Hospitals in London. He gained further specialist experience working with two internationally recognised knee surgeons: Professor Ponky Firer in Johannesburg and Mr Tim Spalding in Coventry. He served as matchday team doctor for Saracens Rugby Club from 2012-2016.

Mr McGarvey will always try to find a non-surgical solution for your knee problem, often in combination with a network of local physiotherapists. Where surgery is needed, Mr McGarvey performs knee ligament reconstruction, meniscus repair, and cartilage repair.  He offers joint-preserving surgery for early knee osteoarthritis, such as osteotomy and focal resurfacing. For established arthritis, he performs joint replacement surgery including partial and total knee replacement. He is certified to perform MAKO robotic-assisted partial and total knee replacement.
