About Mr Hemant Vakharia

Mr Hemant Vakharia is a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist with specialist training in advanced laparoscopic surgery. He works at Barnet Hospital, part of the Royal Free NHS Trust, where he also served as the Clinical Director for Women's Services for five years.

Mr Vakharia qualified from the Royal Free & University College Medical School in 2005, earning his MBBS along with a first-class intercalated degree with honours in molecular medicine. He trained in the North Central & East Thames rotation and further enhanced his skills with additional training at Birmingham Women's Hospital, where he specialised in minimal access surgery.

Mr Vakharia is proficient in managing many gynaecological conditions using minimally invasive techniques. These include endometriosis, ovarian cysts, fibroids, adenomyosis, heavy menstrual bleeding, ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), which he regularly treats in his NHS practice. He also frequently manages patients with pelvic and period pain, couples struggling with infertility, and other general gynaecological issues.

Alongside his colleague Mr Yousri Afifi, he offers laparoscopic insertion of cervical cerclage (a keyhole procedure to place a stitch in the cervix) for the management of late miscarriage. Passionate about service improvements, training, and medical innovation, Mr Vakharia is a member of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, the British Society of Gynaecological Endoscopy, and the European Society of Gynaecological Endoscopy.

I have been a patient of Dr Vakharia for nearly a year now, and I cannot express how grateful I am for the care and support I have received. He came highly recommended, and I can honestly say he has exceeded all my expectations. Living with stage four endometriosis has been incredibly challenging, but Dr Vakharia’s kind, gentle and compassionate approach, combined with his exceptional knowledge and understanding of the condition, has made such a difference to my journey. For the first time, I have felt truly listened to, understood and reassured. I am currently recovering from surgery performed by Dr Vakharia, and I am so thankful for the care I have received throughout the entire process. His professionalism, expertise and genuine compassion have helped me come such a long way. I cannot recommend Dr Vakharia and his wonderful team highly enough. I am truly grateful for everything they have done for me. Thank you.

Mr Vakharia was an excellent consultant. He provided clear, helpful explanations of my options, is a leading expert and treats patients with kindness and respect. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience throughout my treatment process. His team was helpful and accommodating with appointments and the post appointment documentation I received was accurate, thorough and easy to understand. Thank you!

Mr Vakharia explained the surgery very clearly both before and after the operation. Me and my husband were both very reassured at all stages of the process. Mr Vakharia answered all my questions and was very communicative, responding to any email queries extremely quickly. The surgery went very smoothly and I have recovered very well.

I am very satisfied with Dr. Vakharia’s treatment. Having a long time endometriosis and adenomyosis issues which kept troubled for more than 5 years. Dr. Vakharia’s treatment of first putting me on hormone pills and then proceeding to hysterectomy has been a life changing experience for me. I would highly recommend him.

Unfortunately, my health over the past year has been the worst I have ever experienced. I saw 10 different private specialists trying to get to the root cause of my symptoms, but after being recommended to Mr Vakharia, I came away from our very first meeting feeling more confident in him than I had with any of the other specialists I had previously seen. His expertise is immense, but just as importantly, he is clear, kind, incredibly responsive and completely to the point. I never felt that anything was being overcomplicated, and for the first time in a long time, I felt genuinely reassured that I was in the right hands. Within four days of meeting him, I had surgery. Having spent the best part of a year trying to avoid surgery at all costs, I was bizarrely relieved to find myself actually waiting to have it done, simply because I had such confidence in Mr Vakharia and completely trusted his judgement and expertise. His team at The London Clinic were individually and collectively 10/10. The standard of care I received throughout was exceptional. I am incredibly grateful to be one of Mr Vakharia’s patients and to have him overseeing my care as we continue to work through my health issues. I would recommend Mr Vakharia and his team without hesitation. He is the best of the best!

After struggling with fibroids for a few years, I decided—following careful consideration and consultation with Dr Vakharia—to opt for a hysterectomy. We discussed the procedure at length over several months, and I felt thoroughly supported throughout. On the day of the operation, Dr Vakharia came to see me beforehand, which immediately put my mind at ease and helped calm my nerves. Everyone on the care team was remarkably kind and considerate. After the procedure, Dr Vakharia checked in on me, returning the following day to talk through how everything had gone. He explained the details clearly and prepared me for what to expect during recovery. I felt truly cared for and informed at every step of the process.

I cannot recommend Mr Vakharia highly enough. From my very first consultation through to my hysteroscopy and Mirena coil fitting, I felt completely at ease and in exceptionally capable hands. Mr Vakharia was kind, professional and took the time to explain everything clearly, answering all of my questions with patience and reassurance. The procedure itself was much less daunting than I had anticipated, and I felt genuinely listened to and cared for throughout. His calm manner and attention to detail made what could have been an anxious experience feel straightforward and well managed. The entire team was wonderful, but Mr Vakharia's expertise and compassionate approach really stood out. I am incredibly grateful for the excellent care I received and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mr Vakharia to anyone needing gynaecological treatment. Thank you for making such a positive difference to my experience.

“Endometriosis pain during sex is excruciating – how can I have a normal sex life?”

The average waiting time for an endometriosis diagnosis may be over eight years, but once you’ve got that, it’s likely to be another 18 months before you have surgery. In the meantime, women are struggling to work, exercise, socialise and maintain a normal sex life. So, what does that mean for our pleasure and fertility?
