Many people ignore small health problems like frequent bathroom trips or mild pain until the pain gets worse and harder to ignore. Whether it’s a sudden sharp pain, endless trips to the toilet, or discomfort that won’t quit, urological issues can be frustrating and even alarming.
Even celebrities aren’t immune! Did you know that Pierce Brosnan—yes, James Bond himself—once suffered from a painful kidney stone?
The good news? London has some of the best urologists ready to help. With expert care and modern treatments, they can get you back to feeling your best.
How much does a urologist consultation cost in London?
Urologist consultations in London are free under the NHS (London’s Universal Care Plan) if you have GP referral. Private consultations, on the other hand, costs £200 to £350. The final price depends on the clinic and specialist.
How we chose the best urologist in London
- Expertise and qualifications: We chose urologists with years of experience and are registered with the General Medical Council (GMC). We also preferred those that work at top hospitals.
- Patient reviews and satisfaction: We spoke with some patients directly to find doctors known for successful treatments, great care, and a positive experience.
- Specialist treatments: We prioritised urologists with expertise in a wide range of conditions and cutting-edge treatments. We reviewed their medical backgrounds and, in some cases, spoke with patients who underwent specialised procedures to understand their outcomes.
- Reputation in the medical community: Many of these doctors are leaders in urology, helping with research, medical advances, and training new specialists.
1. Mr Sachin Malde
Address: 27 Tooley St
Phone: +44 20 3744 2777
Mr. Sachin Malde stands out for his ability to provide rapid and precise diagnoses while offering urgent and last-minute appointments in top private clinics across London.
I came across him when a close friend was facing long NHS wait times, so they decided to go private and were recommended to Mr. Malde by their general practitioner (GP).
From the first appointment, he explained everything in a way that made sense and never rushed decisions.
To validate their experience, I checked online forums and spoke with other patients, who praised his flexibility with urgent appointments and smooth booking process.
His qualifications are impressive—he is a Consultant Urological Surgeon and has a fellowship from the European Association of Urology (EAU). He offers treatments like UroLift for enlarged prostates and GreenLight laser therapy for urinary issues.
However, his services are limited to private clinics, making NHS access difficult.
I feel very confident in his opinion
“Mr Malde, was extremely knowledgeable, understanding, listened and prescribed a course of short & long term treatment. I feel very confident in his opinion .
It is a relief not to be dismissed and for my symptoms to be taken seriously; especially as for months they have greatly affected and restricted my daily life.
Michelle, Mr Malde’s secretary is also very understanding and efficient. That has been a great help.
Without hesitation, I highly recommend Mr Malde.”

Warm, personable, approachable
“He is just the loveliest man. Warm, personable, approachable. I’ve had bladder problems for a long time and I’ve seen many doctors and I still usually feel uncomfortable talking about my condition but I felt at ease straight away. He was knowledgeable and understanding. I had my surgery yesterday and so far so good. But even if it doesn’t work, I know I’ve had the best opportunity and best care. I would 100% recommend him to everyone”

2. Mr. Tamer El-Husseiny
Address: 18 Devonshire St
Phone: +44 20 7812 1121
Website
Mr. Tamer El-Husseiny is a leading urologist in London.
He is known for his expertise in minimally invasive treatments like Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) for enlarged prostates. Patients often praise these treatments for their quicker recovery times compared to traditional surgery.
I was impressed by his work at Charing Cross Hospital, where he leads research in advanced endourology.
His background is equally impressive—he trained in London and West Midlands and completed a two-year Endourology fellowship at St Bartholomew’s Hospital. Now, he leads research at Charing Cross Hospital.
He also offers virtual consultations; however, some patients feel that their conditions are better assessed in person rather than over the phone.
Outstanding surgeon and great human being
“Mr Tamer El-Husseiny is not only an outstanding surgeon but he is a great human being too. I would never stop to praise him for the great job he did dealing with my case. He made myself comfortable by explaining in a very detailed and clear way what I was going to face. He also made me aware of all the pros and cons and patiently answered to all my questions. I truly couldn’t ask for more. I feel so lucky to have been referred to him. I strongly suggest anyone looking for an urologist surgeon to book a visit with him.”

Explainations are very clear
“My experience has been very positive. I had an enlarged prostate. Mr El Husseiny explained all the options very clearly, and the aquablation surgical procedure went very well. Very pleased.”

3. Mr Hamid Abboudi
Address: Fulham Palace Rd
Phone: +44 7359 173183
Website
Mr. Hamid Abboudi is an expert in cutting-edge treatments, including robot-assisted Aquablation, which uses a waterjet to remove prostate tissue with fewer side effects. Unlike traditional prostate surgery, which can cause more bleeding, Aquablation is less invasive.
I saw his work in one of his publications on kidney stone prevention. He detailed the effectiveness of laser stone fragmentation, which breaks kidney stones into passable pieces, and shockwave lithotripsy, a non-invasive sound wave treatment for kidney stones.
His ability to break down complex procedures into clear, evidence-based insights made me appreciate why he is highly regarded in his field.
Beyond his clinical expertise, patients often praise his thorough consultations. Many appreciate that he ensures patients fully understand their treatment options.
However, some patients feel he focuses more on surgical treatments rather than lifestyle changes. They believe he provides less advice on diet and long-term prevention, which many prefer to help reduce the risk of recurring kidney or prostate issues without medical procedures.
Extremely lovely and calm doctor
“We found Mr Hamid Abboudi in an emergency, when my normal healthcare specialist was away. Extremely lovely and calm doctor. He listened and really thought through what I needed, and went to extra efforts to help me in the crisis. It also turned out his training included studying under my urology surgeon, who is one of the best in the country, so is indicative of his capabilities and talent. If you’re reading this review, it must mean you or someone you care about is unwell. I recommend him highly, and hope you feel better soon. You will be safe with him.”

Efficient and responsive
“I have recently had a very positive patient experience with Mr. Hamid Abboudi. He was excellent from start to finish, including being flexible and switching the initial consultation to a phone call at the last minute after a mixup with dates and locations (my fault!). He has an excellent manner and was efficient and quick to respond throughout my interactions with him. I would highly recommend him and I’m very grateful for the treatment I received.”

4. Mr Sudhanshu Chitale
Address: 146, Harley Street
Phone: +44 7979 143368
Website
Mr. Sudhanshu Chitale is a highly skilled urologist with decades of experience treating prostate issues, kidney stones, and male infertility.
What stood out to me most was his precision and confidence in surgery. With over 20,000 procedures performed, he’s one of the most experienced urologists in London.
I read one of his 90+ research papers, particularly his study on shock wave therapy (SWT) for Peyronie’s disease. It was fascinating to see how his research has shaped modern, non-invasive treatments, making it clear why so many patients trust him.
However, some patients feel that he uses too many medical terms and explains things in a very direct way, which can feel cold or format. This may not suit people who prefer a softer, more caring approach during their appointments.
Always supportive
“I have been under Dr Chitale for more than a year now, he is great a medical professional who is immensely involved with every aspect at every stage of his patient care. Many times, I really needed urgent help/attention for my health was often volatile, in occasions me being out of the country, Dr Chitale was always there and took care of my health at the neediest times. Having Dr Chitale has been always a blessing to me, and with great sense of gratitude, I am thankful for all his help. Definitely recommend him, hope this review helps you in your search.”

Quick diagnosis and effective treatment
“Couldn’t recommend enough, spent 5 months getting no answers, going round in circles, then saw doctor Chitale over 2 visits and problem diagnosed and treated immediately”

5. Mr Gidon Ellis
Address: 15-17 Lodge Rd
Phone: +44 20 3733 2093
Website
Mr. Gidon Ellis is a highly skilled urologist known for his expertise in kidney stones, laser prostate surgery (HoLEP), and minimally invasive cancer treatments.
What stood out to me was his ability to explain complex procedures in a clear and reassuring way, making these treatments feel far less intimidating.
Many attendees, including those who had undergone surgery with him, praised his precise surgical skills and patient-first approach.
Beyond his surgical skills, Mr. Ellis is a core member of the Royal Free’s kidney stone and cancer multidisciplinary teams, ensuring his patients receive the most up-to-date, evidence-based care.
However, few patients have noted that appointments sometimes feel rushed, especially during weekday mornings and early afternoons.
Exceptional care with expert precision
“I cannot rate Mr. Ellis highly enough. From the very start, he was fantastic—his professionalism, expertise, and care made the entire process, from consultation to procedure and aftercare, an absolute breeze. Knowing I was in such capable hands gave me incredible peace of mind. Thanks to his skill and dedication, I am now in a much better place medically and can start truly enjoying life again. I am beyond grateful.”
– Adam Noble, Google Review
Empathetic, skilled, and highly effective
“I’m extremely grateful for the help and assistance provided by Mr Gideon Ellis. It was a way above my expectations. Very positive approach to the patient with empathy and understanding. His high qualifications and skills allowed for a quick solution to my painful and troublesome urological problems. I can definitely recommend Mr Ellis to anyone who is looking for a highly qualified specialist.”
