The main purpose of this website is to inform and educate. I am a consultant surgeon in London, with over 30 years’ experience in surgery of the liver, biliary system and pancreas. The pages that follow have been written by me, not just for my patients but for anyone, anywhere, who wishes to find out more about gallstones. If you have gallstones and are likely to have surgery to remove your gall bladder, then you may find this useful. I have tried to keep things simple and brief. What you read here is not meant to be a substitute for a discussion with your doctor or nurse. Nor is it meant to be a detailed medical review of everything related to gallstones.

If you wish to arrange a consultation with me you will find contact details in the section About us and travel directions in the section Find us.
