Having initially trained as an East of England Academic Trainee, he honed his expertise across prominent regional hospitals, including Addenbrookes and Norfolk and Norwich. His outstanding contributions to urology are evident through extensive publications, presentations at diverse conferences, and multiple accolades.
With a Doctorate from the University of Cambridge, funded by the Medical Research Council, Mr Wadhwa's focus on prostate cancer diagnostics has pioneered the utilisation of MRI scans for diagnosis. A dedicated general urologist, he specialises in minimally invasive renal surgery, while his commitment to education is demonstrated through his leadership in educational programs, examination roles at local medical schools, and supervision of students from renowned institutions. Mr Wadhwa is a faculty member at the Royal College of Surgeons and provides regular teaching there.

Presently serving as the clinical lead for Urology at Broomfield Hospital, Mr Wadhwa's influence extends to roles such as the year two lead for clinical attachments at Anglia Ruskin University and a module co-lead for the yearly national Urology Bootcamp.

Mr Wadhwa was professional, he dealt with my husband with sensitivity and care. I would highly recommend him within his urology specialty and he is an example of a professional delivering an excellent patient-centred care. I am impressed with the reassurance and the quickness in which he contacted and arranged other specialists to provide information regarding my husband’s cancer diagnosis and treatment options. Within a few days we have seen the specialists and scans arranged for a speedy diagnosis and treatment plan.
