I am a Consultant Breast Surgeon at Spire Norwich Hospital. I completed my medical degree at the University of Cambridge in 1991, subsequently completing my training at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge. I was first appointed as a Consultant in 2003 at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and have been the lead of the Breast Unit for the majority of the time since.
First and foremost, in any consultation, it is essential to consider the whole patient in front of you, rather than just the disease process. No two cases are the same, care must be individually tailored for each patient. I strongly believe that multi-disciplinary management of breast diseases is essential for optimum treatment outcomes. All breast cancer cases that I see are fully discussed in team meetings to ensure the best treatment methods are chosen.
In addition to my expertise in breast disease, I also have extensive experience in the surgical management of thyroid and parathyroid problems, including minimally invasive parathyroid surgery.

Very friendly and calming experience from Mr Pain and the rest of the Spire team
I am a 45 year old male and a fantastic patient experience was provided to me recently from Mr. Pain and his team - nothing was too much trouble right from my initial consultation with him. I am very grateful for the exceptional high standard of care and professional services that was provided to me on the day of surgery for my inguinal hernia repair. Thank you all so much and I will be recommending your services to others in the future.
Simon Pain was both thorough and efficient. He had an excellent bedside manner and gave an honest explanation. This was a very easy and reassuring experience, thank you.
The most kind and reassuring doctor who takes time to explain and understand.
From the moment I started to describe my symptoms I knew I was in good hands. Mr Pain took the time to listen to me and he suggested surgery. I have now had the surgery and I was very well cared for throughout the whole process.
I was referred to Mr Pain following a breast cancer diagnosis. I honestly feel lucky to have him as my consultant, he is frank and honest with the facts but able to convey the message with empathy and without being alarmist. His bedside manner is excellent , he is extremely kind and caring.
