About the London Surgical Group

The ‘London Surgical Group’ practice has been developed to provide a comprehensive high-quality service, which ensures patients receive the best care available to them. The group specialises in general and upper gastro-intestinal surgery and has a particular interest in laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery.

Professor Andrew Davies has trained in some of the world’s most prestigious units, both in the UK and abroad. We have established links with the leading gastroenterology, oncology and anaesthetic groups in London, Surrey and Hampshire and achieve world class results. A strong academic background provides an excellent foundation to ensure the practice is at the forefront of surgical practice and technology. We strongly believe in a personalised, compassionate and patient-centred approach.
