About
Mr Subhamoy Chatterjee is a Consultant spinal surgeon who practices in both Central London and the North London areas. Affectionately know as 'Bob' to his colleagues, he trained at Guy's & St Thomas' Hospital. He undertook his initial surgical training in Oxford and finally on the Middlesex rotation in London. He went on to gain and complete a Royal College of Surgeons Fellowship at Norfolk & Norwich Hospitals as well as Neurosurgical Spinal Fellowship at Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge. This dual training allowed him to develop and hone the latest techniques in spinal surgery.
He has always held a high regard for the importance of research and in 2003 achieved a distinction in his Master's Degree at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, where he researched Biomechanics and Skeletal Tissue Degeneration. He maintains this within his current practice sitting on research committees and holds honorary research contracts at the Royal National Orthoapedic Hospital & Norfolk & Norwich Hospitals.
Mr Chatterjee is very committed to education and his research is widely published and presented. He lectures and teaches internationally and is a tutor in minimally invasive keyhole surgery. He is the author of numerous book chapters, articles and research papers, as well as the Consultant editor of several medical journals. Mr Chatterjee resides on several medical committees and is a spinal advisor to the NHS.
Throughout his practice he strongly believes in ensuring that his patients understand their conditions to help make an informed decision about their health.
His wife Lisa is also a trained Orthopaedic surgeon. Bob has varied interests outside of his practice, from fine food and wine to table tennis, but now it his two young daughters with whom he likes to spend his free time.

Dr Bob Chatterjee is a wizard! I have suffered 6 years of life consuming pain and I am now pain free in my back. I could not remember a day for 6 years without some sort of back pain and bother - now I wake up with no back pain and the life consuming pain has almost gone. My recovery from my first surgery has been effortless and Dr Chatterjee is exceptional and one of a kind. I have no hesitation recommending him to anyone suffering from back pain. He has given me a new lease on life and I am looking to a full speedy recovery thanks to him. I trust his judgement entirely. Anyone lucky enough to be his patient will feel the same as I do I am sure.

Mr Chatterjee is a superstar physician

A brilliant clinician, taking time to explain my scans, my treatment options and not pushing for immediate surgery as others had done. I would highly recommend Mr Chatterjee who goes above and beyond what you would expect of him

I can’t praise him enough. The minute I went to see him I felt in safe hands and was confident that surgery was my only option. He explained everything clearly and helped me see all the options. Very pleased with my decision to use such a first class surgeon and such a lovely man.

Punctual, efficient, helpful and understanding, he gave us great confidence and we value his prompt help and expertise enormously.
