About Mr Alastair Michael Fry

Mr Alastair Michael Fry is a highly experienced Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon with specialist expertise in head and neck surgery, reconstructive surgery, oral cancer management, and advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques. His clinical practice also encompasses wisdom tooth removal, dental implant surgery, and salivary gland procedures.

Mr Fry is recognised as a leading expert in the diagnosis and treatment of oral and head and neck cancers. He has a particular interest in the early detection and minimally invasive management of oral cancers and potentially pre-cancerous lesions, including the use of laser surgery to reduce treatment-related morbidity and improve patient outcomes. His work focuses on achieving effective cancer treatment while minimising the functional and cosmetic impact of surgery.

Mr Fry conducted pioneering research into the mechanisms of early invasion in oral cancers, work that led to the award of a prestigious fellowship from the Royal College of Surgeons. He has published extensively in peer-reviewed medical journals and has presented his research at numerous national and international conferences, particularly in the fields of jaw surgery, oral cancer management, and reconstructive surgery.

Following specialist training, Mr Fry spent time at the internationally renowned Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, one of the world's leading cancer centres. He subsequently secured a highly competitive National Head and Neck Surgery Fellowship, where he received advanced multidisciplinary training in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Plastic Surgery, and Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) surgery, providing a comprehensive foundation for the management of complex head and neck conditions.

A major focus of Mr Fry’s recent work has been the development and adoption of innovative surgical techniques designed to reduce treatment-related side effects. He has particular expertise in minimally invasive approaches that can avoid or reduce visible facial scarring associated with traditional surgical methods, helping to optimise both functional recovery and cosmetic outcomes for patients undergoing head and neck procedures.

His specialist interests include head and neck cancer surgery, oral cancer and pre-cancer management, jaw reconstruction, facial reconstruction, salivary gland surgery, wisdom tooth surgery, dental implants, and minimally invasive laser surgery for oral lesions.

Mr. Fry has a great way of conveying professional guidance and the not so ideal details associated with it without making it overwhelming or scary for the patient going through it. This has been exceptionally helpful in helping me deal with my oral cancer diagnosis, treatment and on going monitoring/check ups.

I could not fault my experience of Mr Fry or his team. I was in a bad way with cancer of the jaw and came to Mr Fry because, on diagnosis, my usual hospital did not seem confidently to know how to treat it, or what exactly to do. From my first encounter with Mr Fry his infectious 'can do' attitude was clear and supportive and more importantly he has the remarkable skill, knowledge and experience to back it up. The cancer has been removed along with my jaw which has been replaced by remarkable reconstruction; my treatment is, for the while, ongoing, but thanks to Alastair Fry and his team, the likely outcome now is fully curative. It genuinely was my lucky day when I found him and his excellent team.
