About Mr Ali Abbasian

Mr Ali Abbasian is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon who specialises exclusively in foot and ankle conditions. Based at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, he also sees patients privately. His practice includes both routine and complex reconstructive and sports procedures, with particular expertise in total ankle replacements and minimally invasive (keyhole) bunion correction.

Mr Abbasian is frequently referred complex cases from other orthopaedic centres and is well regarded for offering clear, evidence-based second opinions.

He completed his specialist training in orthopaedic surgery on the Imperial College rotation in London and was awarded Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. He then undertook advanced sub-specialist training through a prestigious Foot and Ankle Fellowship at the New England Foot and Ankle Center, Mercy Hospital, Portland, Maine — a programme recognised by the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society.

Importantly unlike surgical podiatrists, Mr Abbasian is a medically trained doctor who has gone on to specialise in orthopaedic foot and ankle surgery.

He is the Chief of Foot and Ankle Surgery at Guy’s Hospital and Director of the Foot and Ankle Fellowship Programme, where he trains senior orthopaedic surgeons in managing complex foot and ankle conditions.

I cannot praise the care that I received from Mr Abbasian and his team highly enough. Every aspect of my experience has been hugely positive, from booking appointments to the consultations themselves and the pre and post surgery care. Particular thanks to Halimo Hassan for her supreme efficiency and kindness and to Mr Abbasian himself. They are a credit to your institution.

Through out the whole process Mr Abbasian was thoughtful and clearly explained my options and implications of the procedure that I went on to have. After the operation I had minimum discomfort and my foot healed well. Overall it was a positive experience.

I cannot speak highly enough of Mr Abbasian and his team. I was referred to him for a toe condition and was immediately impressed by his renowned expertise and attentive care. Mr Abbasian and his team provide a 'gold standard' of service that extends well beyond the surgery itself. His administrative team is compassionate, efficient, and incredibly easy to reach. As a surgeon, Mr Abbasian is exceptional; he explains every detail clearly and ensures the patient is involved in every decision. I underwent complex joint-preserving surgery performed to the highest standard. Because I also manage a hip and back condition, Mr Abbasian took a truly holistic approach to my recovery, supporting me through the initial weeks and continuing to do so to this day. This ongoing support isn't just the icing on the cake—it is the 'five-star cherry' on top.

I had an ankle replacement and it has made a huge difference in my life. Any pain I used to feel has gone and I look forward to a pain free existence going forward. You shouldn’t be intimidated at the prospect of an ankle replacement as the recovery is relatively quick and the pain isn’t severe. Ali Abbasian is a superb surgeon and you can trust him completely

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. I’m delighted to hear how much of a positive impact the ankle replacement has had on your pain and quality of life. It’s particularly helpful for others considering surgery to hear that the recovery was manageable and less daunting than expected. Thank you for your trust and kind words. It was a pleasure to look after you, and I wish you continued comfort, mobility, and enjoyment of your improved ankle function.

Dr. Abbasian treated me 9 months ago for a right ankle ligament injury. He guided me through the rehabilitation process and has followed up with me three times since then. He is very clear and highly competent—I genuinely believe he is the best surgeon in the country. He explains everything thoroughly, inspires confidence, and puts your mind at ease about what comes next. I would recommend him to anyone with a bone problem or a ligament injury like the one I experienced. He is an excellent professional. Thank you. Maria R.

Earlier this year, I suffered a Weber type B ankle fracture with a syndesmosis injury. Dr Abbasian performed the surgery, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. He was very knowledgeable, patient, and compassionate throughout the entire process. He took the time to clearly explain the nature of the injury, the surgical procedure, and what to expect during recovery. The surgery went smoothly, with no complications and minimal post-operative pain. My recovery was also much quicker than expected. I’m truly grateful to Mr Abbasian for his excellent care and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of ankle surgery.

Excellent surgeon who gives me confidence that he knows exactly what to do to fix my ankle and the best way to approach the recovery. He developed a complete plan and the stages needed for recovery. His recommendation for a knee scooter was very helpful 😊
