About Mr Richard Flint

Mr Richard Flint is a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist with NHS and private practices. He works at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and sees private patients at LIPS Healthcare, Battersea Power Station in London.

He graduated from Cardiff Medical School and completed postgraduate training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology within the South London Deanery. He undertook two advanced fellowships: one in Urogynaecology at King’s College Hospital and another in advanced robotic gynaecological surgery at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.

Mr Flint is experienced in the management of a wide range of benign gynaecological conditions, including endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometrial polyps, menstrual disorders, abnormal uterine and intermenstrual bleeding, menopause, contraception, and fertility investigations. He also has expertise in the diagnosis of endometrial cancers and in carrying out gynaecology and early pregnancy ultrasounds.

As part of the emergency gynaecology team at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, he provides urgent care for patients with acute gynaecological issues and early pregnancy complications. He is also a member of the minimal access surgery team, performing advanced robotic and laparoscopic procedures for endometriosis and complex benign conditions. In his role as Gynaecology Sedation Lead, he supports advanced hysteroscopic surgery, offering both awake and sedated outpatient care.

Mr Flint has been recognised for his patient care with two PROUD Awards from Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and contributed to the team that won the hospital’s “Great Big Cheer” award for excellence in robotic gynaecological surgery. Alongside his clinical work, he is an examiner at Imperial College Medical School and trains junior doctors in hysteroscopic, laparoscopic and robotic surgery. He is also a certified Immediate Life Support trainer.

Mr. Flint was extremely kind and treated my concerns seriously. I was confident that he had read my records carefully and considered my specific conditions and circumstances before he responded to my concerns. His professional approach was exemplary and I cannot recommend him highly enough. I have since had my surgery and again, I am very happy with the whole process, the operation and the outcome. I have seen many gynaecologists over the years and too few have had the willingness to listen, guide and take appropriate action with the level of professionalism shown by Mr. Flint. I hope he is able to pass this on to the next generation of surgeons and consultants.

Mr Flint has been so wonderful throughout my consultations and surgical procedure. He listened to me as an individual with compassion, without judgement, and made me feel at ease at every moment of my treatment. All of my options were presented to me very clearly, allowing me to make fully informed decisions and I couldn’t be happier with the way I was treated and the outcome.

I think what Mr Flint has that is pretty unique is he is both professional and relatable. He is fun and funny and puts you at ease but you have zero doubt that you are in incredibly capable hands. He obviously sees very quickly what is needed and he really listened to me. He's the guy you wished you'd seen at the very beginning of your medical journey and hopefully he is that person for a lot of women. He has made a huge difference to the quality of my life and did so with grace and humour.

Mr Flint is great! I had a very positive experience with this doctor and would highly recommend him. The entire consultation was pleasant, professional, and reassuring. He took the time to listen carefully to my concerns and asked thorough questions about my overall health and medical history. The examination and scan were carried out with great attention to detail, and I was impressed by how thorough and comprehensive his approach was. He explained everything clearly, showed me what he was seeing during the scan, and took the time to explain the reasons behind his findings and recommendations. Most importantly, I felt that he genuinely cared about my wellbeing and was fully invested in understanding the problem and finding the best way to help. I am extremely grateful for the care, attention, and support I received, and I would highly recommend this doctor to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, thorough, and compassionate specialist.

Mr Flint is a brilliant doctor. I felt well prepared and reassured for my procedure. The conscious sedation made me feel so safe and pain free. His whole team at Chelsea and Westminster are amazing.

Dr Flint is absolutely amazing, I would highly recommend. For context, I have spent 4 years in pelvic pain since an ectopic pregnancy, plus 8 years going through IVF. Dr Flint did a very thorough examination (and ladies, I have had MANY MANY examinations so when I tell you he was very gentle, believe it!), he managed to do it with minimal discomfort, but also picked up on a number of issues that seemed to have passed other doctors by, identifying the cause of my discomfort and a route forward to resolving it. He was compassionate and clear in his explanations, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a specialist in this field.

Dr. Flint was very informative, firm but fair and have offered clear options that helps patient decide which route to take. So far, after the procedure /small op perfomed by Dr. Flint (and fast-trekked, due to its nature and Dr. Flint's intervention), it was painless and my recovery is good. We are still working towards my diagnosis, but I'm confident that I'm in good hands.
