About Mr Timothy Justin

M Timothy Justin, is a skilled Consultant General and Colorectal Surgeon at St Edmund's Hospital with over 30 years of experience. He completed his medical degree at The London Hospital Medical College in 1988 and became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 1992. 

Having transitioned to the Academic Department of Surgery at the University of Nottingham, Mr Justin's research focused on the effects of the gastrin hormone in gastric and colorectal cancer. His work also involved conducting trials with novel agents for the treatment of these cancers. He published his thesis in 1995 and was awarded his DM from the University of Nottingham in the same year.

Mr Justin completed his specialist training in Nottingham Hospitals and Sheffield, Mr Justin assumed the role of a consultant at the West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds in 2000. In 2016, he shifted to a full-time position as an independent surgical consultant at the BMI St Edmunds Hospital. Operating in both private practice and with NHS patients, he addresses a diverse range of general and gastrointestinal pathology, placing a particular emphasis on GI endoscopic investigation.

Mr Justin has clinical interests in laparoscopic surgery, colonoscopy, transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEMS), PPH for haemorrhoids (piles) and Bard Polysoft inguinal preperitoneal hernia patch.

Mr Justin was very professional. I would not hesitate in recommending him. He is very approachable, with an excellent bedside manner that immediately puts you at ease, and nothing was too much trouble. He explained the procedure in great detail and I felt confident in his expertise to easily perform a successful operation. Everything went well on the day and the hernia op was a great success and I was back to my normal daily activity within a week. Thank you. He has an excellent team that make you feel you are in safe hands which is greatly appreciated at a time when one is anxious having an operation.

Mr Justin performed a Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and Cholangiogram on me. He was brilliant at putting my mind to rest and made sure he went through everything with me from consultation through to post op checkup. Thank you for performing this and your fantastic bedside manner.

Good quick assessment of my problem, explanation of ‘the problem’ and how it could be dealt with. Bedside manner and explanation immediately prior my operation was reassuring. Although I did not see him before I left the hospital post operation, the following consultation and check was also reassuring.
