MR Tonsi was very clear explaining proceedures, professional and friendly when I saw him on several occasions. He completed my surgery and did a post op session and always was available when I had concerns. His secretary Romina does a great job liaising with Mr Tonsi when I have had queries. Very pleased I chose him as he really knows his stuff!

Mr Alfredo Tonsi

Mr Alfredo Tonsi

Hello, my name is Mr Alfredo Tonsi, and I am a Consultant Colorectal and General Surgeon. I specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the colon, rectum and abdominal wall, with particular expertise in colorectal cancer, abdominal wall hernias, colonoscopy, and proctology. My practice focuses on modern minimally invasive treatments, aiming to provide the best possible outcomes while supporting a faster and more comfortable recovery. I perform colonoscopy to investigate symptoms such as bleeding or changes in bowel habit, allowing early diagnosis of conditions including polyps, inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer. I also treat proctological conditions such as anal fistula, haemorrhoids, fissures and pilonidal disease, as well as inguinal, umbilical and complex abdominal wall hernias. My approach is centred on clear communication and personalised care, ensuring that patients feel informed and confident throughout their treatment. Thank you for watching.
