ABOUT US
Your Doctor
Mr Mohammed Jelloo MB ChB, Dip Ch(Orthop), Dip MSK (US)
Member of The British Medical Ultrasound Society
Mr Jelloo is a highly experienced orthopaedic surgeon with over 42 years’ experience in the assessment and management of bone, joint, and muscle conditions. He has worked in the UK NHS since 1993, including the last 22 years in NHS locum consultant roles in trauma and orthopaedics, caring for patients with both acute injuries and long-standing orthopaedic problems.
Alongside his NHS work, Mr Jelloo has a strong commitment to teaching. He has been a tutor and examiner for postgraduate Diploma and Master’s degree students at the Centre for Ultrasound Studies, allied to Bournemouth University, contributing to the training of healthcare professionals in musculoskeletal ultrasound.
He has a particular interest in musculoskeletal ultrasound scanning, using high-resolution imaging and advanced techniques to support accurate diagnosis and to guide precise, minimally invasive treatments. This approach often allows faster diagnosis, improved patient comfort, and more tailored management.
Mr Jelloo is committed to providing care that is thorough, clear, and centred on each patient’s individual needs, with the aim of helping people return to the activities they enjoy and improve their quality of life.
Mr Jelloo is a GMC-registered orthopaedic surgeon (GMC No. 5154541) with a licence to practise. He is not on the GMC Specialist Register. His private practice focuses on outpatient orthopaedic assessment, musculoskeletal ultrasound, and conservative management, including ultrasound-guided injections.
What is Musculoskeletal ultrasound scan?
This is a painless, risk-free imaging test (ultrasonography) used to assess orthopaedic conditions affecting the limbs, pelvis, and spine.
We have invested in two of the most powerful and accurate ultrasound systems available.
During your scan, a small amount of skin-friendly, water soluble, odourless gel is applied to the area being examined. The doctor then gently moves the ultrasound probe over your skin, allowing both you and the doctor to see the underlying structures in real time on the screen. This helps identify any abnormalities that may be causing your symptoms and supports an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.
Ultrasound guidance also enables the doctor to precisely target injections into the correct tissue plane and to plan the most effective management for your condition.
What shall I book?
If you book an orthopaedic consultation but decide to have one of our packages during the same visit, you’ll only be charged for the package you receive — nothing extra. Your appointment time will be automatically extended to accommodate the additional service.
Similarly, if you book a package but end up having only an orthopaedic consultation, you’ll only pay the lower consultation fee.
Bottom line: Don’t worry. Whatever you book, you’ll only ever pay for the service you actually needed and received. You’ll never lose out.
