Patients travel to Mr Osman Riaz from across Yorkshire — including Harrogate, Knaresborough and Wetherby — for specialist sports knee surgery. His clinics at Spire Elland Hospital and The Huddersfield Hospital are around an hour from Harrogate, and for many patients that journey is worth it for a surgeon who focuses exclusively on the knee.

Why Harrogate patients make the trip
