About Dr David Hunter

Dr. David Hunter is a Consultant Gynaecologist with extensive experience. He offers consultations and treatment for a broad range of gynaecological conditions, with special interests in the investigation and management of endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, recurrent miscarriage, menstrual dysfunction, and female sterilisation.

Dr. Hunter graduated with an MBChB, BAO from Queen’s University Belfast in 1992 and achieved membership of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in 1998. He was awarded an MD by QUB following his research into the pre-operative imaging and staging of endometriosis. During his early career, he participated in a sabbatical clinical fellowship with Professor Ray Garry in Middlesbrough (2000–2001), which further enriched his research and clinical expertise.

Appointed as a Consultant Gynaecologist at the Royal Victoria Hospital in 2005, and subsequently within the Belfast Trust, Dr. Hunter developed a multidisciplinary team for managing advanced endometriosis, incorporating specialists from rectal surgery, urology, imaging, pain management, and fertility. He was also central to establishing a dedicated clinic for women experiencing recurrent miscarriages. Although he resigned from his NHS post in 2020, he continues to retain contacts with his multidisciplinary team in his ongoing private practice.

I’m beyond greatful for Dr.Hunter to taking me as a patient. I’ve been suffering with fibroid for at least 5 years and to have a doctor to listen to me and put a plan in place to remove my fibroid I cannot be more thankful. His professionalism goes unnoticed from the consultation to discharge.

I had various consultations with Dr Hunter before eventually undergoing laparoscopic treatment for stage 4 Endometriosis under his care. I would highly recommend him. He is knowledgeable and professional and I felt assured that my condition would be managed well under his care. After exhausting medical treatment I opted for surgery. Dr Hunter was realistic with me regarding likely outcomes which I appreciated. His skill and expertise meant he was able to clear all possible disease and I have come out of hospital feeling great. His bedside manner pre and post op was exemplary. I cannot thank him enough for taking such good care of me.
