Based in the Netherlands, Abu Dhabi and London, his practice is focused solely on these key areas. Widely-published and renowned for his innovations in both new surgical techniques and instruments, he also lectures regularly on his specialism.
Dr van Heerwaarden gained his medical degree from the Free University of Amsterdam, before undertaking his specialist training in orthopaedics under the guidance of Professor René Marti at Amsterdam’s Academical Medical Centre. After setting up his orthopaedic practice at the Sint Maartensclinics, he founded and led the Netherlands-based Limb Reconstruction Centre and the Limb Deformity Reconstruction Units for 13 years.

His reputation for forging groundbreaking techniques means that surgeons travel from every corner of the globe to watch him operate to better understand his technique and surgical innovations, such as the invention of surgical technique details, plates for the fixation after performing an osteotomy and the use of the knee joint distraction frame.
With more than 100 scientific peer-reviewed research articles, 500 plus lectures and courses delivered, many books and book chapters published, his commitment to research and education is second-to-none.
Patients referred from other surgeons form around 80% of his caseload, because of the expertise and innovative treatment only he can offer. In addition to adults, he also treats older children aged 12-18 for lower limb bone deformities.
His aim is to help patients maximise their active lives as freely as possible from limiting conditions and minimise the need for joint replacement.
