About Mr Wael Ismail

Mr Wael Ismail is a Consultant Breast Surgeon whose private practice is based primarily at Spire Hartswood private hospital in Brentwood, Essex and the Spire London East Hospital in Redbridge.

He operates on more than 200 women with breast cancer every year, aiming to deliver high quality breast care and excellent results to both his private and NHS patients. His breast service is built on a strong multidisciplinary ethos and follows all guidelines and evidence-based protocols for breast cancer treatment.

Mr Ismail is also an accredited breast screening surgeon and operates on women who have no breast symptoms and whose cancer has been detected during routine mammography screening. For these patients, Mr Ismail uses the wire localisation technique to confirm diagnosis and plan treatment.

In addition to the wire localisation technique, Mr Ismail offers the following surgical treatments at Spire Hartswood Hospital and Spire London East Hospital :

  • wide local excision of breast lump
  • mastectomy
  • skin sparing mastectomy
  • mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction performed in conjunction with a specialist plastic surgeon
  • reconstruction options include implants, implant plus latissimus dorsi (LD) flap, and deep inferior epigastric pedicle (DIEP) flap as appropriate
  • blue dye sentinel node biopsy (SLNB) to determine spread of cancer to the lymph system, with minimum lymph node removal
  • axillary clearance of lymph nodes

Patients with breast symptoms who come to Mr Ismail's Monday evening private breast clinic at Spire Hartswood and Thursday afternoon clinic at Spire London East can normally have investigations (mammography, breast ultrasound, fine needle aspiration and/or core biopsy) on the same day. This is classed as a One Stop clinic.

The Spire Hospitals' specialist breast care nurses support all private breast patients and treatment planning is done by a multi-disciplinary team including surgeon, oncologist, radiologist and pathologist before and after surgery.

For general inquiries, please use the above contact details to book directly through our Spire locations. For all other enquiries, please contact Mr Ismail's secretary Mrs Janice Jones directly via brentwoodcare@hotmail.com .

I’ve had appointments with mr Ismail, numerous times and every time he has been nothing but professional and kind. “I cannot praise this doctor enough. From the moment I met them, I felt listened to, cared for, and treated with kindness and respect. They were very professional, patient, and understanding, taking the time to explain everything clearly and making me feel at ease. It is reassuring to know that there are doctors who genuinely care about their patients and go above and beyond to provide the best possible care. I would highly recommend this doctor to anyone.”

He examined my breast and said he could feel a cyst . He also wrote on my doctors letter that I was complaining of pain where I had surgery. That was not the case I went to see him because I had been called back from a routine NHS mammogram. So all a bit confusing.

Dr Ismail is very professional and extremely experienced. I had seen him in 2017 following my breast cancer and was very happy indeed to see him again. He completely put my mind at rest and went above and beyond to explain and discuss my concerns. He has years of experience behind him therefore the whole appointment was reassuring with him. Moving forward I would always like to see Dr Ismail for my check ups.

Dr Ismail has been my surgeon since 2021, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. He performed my breast surgery, and I can honestly say that he is an exceptional doctor. Throughout my journey, Dr Ismail has shown me such kindness, care, and compassion. He is not only an excellent surgeon but also a genuinely caring person who makes you feel supported and reassured during what can be one of the most difficult times in your life. I feel incredibly fortunate to have had him as my surgeon. His dedication, compassion, and professionalism mean so much to me, and I will always be grateful for the care he has given me. Thank you, Dr Ismail, for everything you have done for me. You truly are a wonderful doctor, and I feel so lucky to be in your care.

I have been under the care of Mr Ismail for 8 years and recently had reason to visit him again. He listens with kindness, always manages to put me at ease during worrying times and is very thorough. They broke the mould after Mr Ismail was made.
