About
Mr Kelvin Lau is a consultant thoracic surgeon at St Bartholomew's Hospital, London and at the Cleveland Clinic. His clinical interests include treating lung cancer and lung nodules with minimally invasive single-port keyhole surgery and robotic surgery whilst preserving healthy lung with segmentectomy, navigation bronchoscopy for biopsy and ablation of tumours to preserving lung function, as well as pneumothorax, pleural effusion, thymus tumours, chest wall problems and diaphragm problems. He works closely with all his patients to ensure that they receive the best care throughout their treatment.
As one of London's leading consultant thoracic surgeons, Mr Lau uses cutting-edge technology to diagnose and treat cancer. He is the first medical professional in Europe to use a new and innovative technology to diagnose early lung cancer safely with lower risk of pain and pneumothorax.

Mr Lau works across some of London's leading clinics and hospitals, including the Cleveland Clinic London and St Bartholomew's Hospital. At St Bartholomew's Hospital, Mr Lau established and leads the thoracic surgery service and set up the first-ever dedicated 24/7 thoracic robotic surgery programme in the UK.

I was impressed that Mr Lau called me for an initial consultation on time- I am used to a more flexible approach to timekeeping from clinicians! He was very positive, friendly and informative in all interactions that I had with him, and I can’t rate him highly enough
5
I had my first telephone consultation with Dr Lau on 24/11/21. I had a list of questions for him regarding the surgery. I didn’t need the questions as he explained everything in great detail to me. I felt so much more positive after the call about the procedure. He came to see me on the day of admission and 2 times after the surgery. It was a great comfort.
5
He explains everything calmly and clearly. He answered all of the questions I asked.

I have had a few surgeries under and by Kelvin including microwave ablation which I know Kelvin has been a pioneer in. He is not only highly experienced and knowledgable he is also very kind and takes time to explain things. Despite being a very busy man he always gives his patients his time and is very compassionate.
