About

Mr Simon Pain is a Consultant Breast Surgeon at Spire Norwich Hospital and GenesisCare Cambridge. He completed his medical degree at the University of Cambridge in 1991, subsequently completing his training at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge. He was first appointed as a Consultant in 2003 at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital. He is also a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons.

Mr Pain strongly believes that multi-disciplinary management of breast diseases is essential for optimum treatment outcomes. All breast cancer cases that are presented to him at his current posts are fully discussed in team meetings to ensure the best treatment methods are chosen. He is also a strong advocate for utilising the latest evidence-based techniques in his clinical practice, such as sentinel lymph node biopsy and immediate breast reconstruction (performed alongside plastic surgeons).

In addition to his expertise in breast disease, Mr Pain also has extensive experience in the surgical management of thyroid and parathyroid problems, including minimally invasive parathyroid surgery.

Explanation

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 highly recommend Mr Simon Pain. He secured me the very best outcome for my diagnosis for which I will always be grateful. He is highly knowledgable and thorough as well as kind, thoughtful and supportive. I had two surgeries with Mr Pain which were most importantly successful but also neat which is amazing. On several occasions he has seen me at very short notice when I have needed reassurance. I have every confidence in his care and continue to see him for my regular check ups.
