About Anthony Ghosh

Mr Anthony Ghosh MBChB, MD, FRCS (Neuro.Surg)

Consultant Spinal Neurosurgeon

A leading UK authority in spine care

Most patients who come to Anthony Ghosh have already seen other doctors. They have had scans, opinions, and treatments – and they are still in pain. That is precisely who he is here for and he is well recognised as an authority internationally.

Anthony is one of a small number of surgeons in the UK with dual fellowship training in both neurosurgical and orthopaedic complex spine surgery. He trained at King’s College Hospital and St George’s Hospital – two of London’s foremost neurosurgical centres – and holds an MD research degree from University College London. He was appointed to the NHS Consultant grade in 2017, serving as Neurovascular Lead at a major London teaching hospital and regional spine centre before moving exclusively into private practice. He has brought his microsurgical skills as a vascular neurosurgeon into the spine to keep his procedures minimally invasive. He now focuses entirely on spinal conditions – no general neurosurgery, no divided attention.

One specialist. Total responsibility.

Anthony does not simply operate and step back. Where surgery is needed, he performs it. Where it is not, he personally directs physiotherapists, pain specialists, osteopaths, rheumatologists and others – ensuring every patient has a clear, coordinated path to recovery with one expert accountable throughout.

Anthony is published in peer-reviewed journals and has contributed to research published in The Lancet Neurology. He has presented research at national and international neurosurgical conferences. He is a regular contributor to national media on matters of spinal health, and runs a well known educational YouTube channel dedicated to helping patients understand complex spinal conditions in plain language – reflecting his belief that an informed patient makes better decisions and recovers with greater confidence.

What people say

I was seen by Mr Ghosh at Chelsfield Park Hospital and underwent lumbar decompression surgery on 20th February. Mr Ghosh was extremely thorough in his explanation of what the surgery would entail. I asked lots of questions, and he was more than happy to explain everything in detail. The surgery went well and the pain was very minimal. I’m very glad that I chose him as my surgeon.

I would like to put on record my thanks to Mr Anthony Gosh and his PA Nikki Zelkin for their outstanding support both before, during and after my recent spinal procedures. Their professionalism and clarity has made the whole experience less demanding, and has enabled me to approach the recovery process in a very positive mindset due to this. Many thanks

I went to the KIMS Hospital on 31st March. It is a very nice Hospital and everything went very well . The nurses were very kind and I was soon ready for Mr Ghosh’s Nerve Block procedure. I was soon back in my lovely room and very quickly eating a deliciouscold lunch.The nurses tested the strength in my legs every 30 minutes and at 815 pm I was told I could go home. I had a very good Consultant in Mr Ghosh and I am now waiting patiently for the nerve block to really take hold.
