London Cartilage Clinic.

“Nothing much, just enjoy”

“A Doctor on Harley Street: My Visits to Prof. Paul Lee in London Some streets you know before you have ever set foot on them. For a doctor, Harley Street is one of those. Since the nineteenth century, this street in the heart of London has been the address of British medicine. Behind the classic façades of red brick and white stucco, with their black doors and brass nameplates, sit hundreds of clinics, specialists and practices. To have a nameplate here is to belong somewhere. It is a street where the tradition of the doctor's bag still stands alongside the latest ultrasound equipment, and where patients travel from all over the world. And at number 66 is the London Cartilage Clinic of Prof. Paul Y.F. Lee. Why London? In Rotterdam and Dordrecht I have been treating knees with orthobiologic injections for years: High-Dose PRP, Arthrosamid and, more recently, ChondroFiller. The latter comes with a technique in which the gel is placed very precisely inside the joint under ultrasound guidance, without arthroscopy. There are not many physicians in Europe who do it that way, and Prof. Lee is one of them. So I did what I most enjoy doing as a doctor: I went to watch someone who has been doing it longer than I have.”
