Private Upper GI & General Surgery, and Physiotherapy
Our Upper GI Practice
Consultant-Led, Coordinated Care
At The Hornby Group, care is led throughout by an experienced consultant upper GI surgeon, ensuring clarity, continuity, and trust from first appointment through to recovery.
​
Each patient receives a thorough assessment of symptoms and medical history, clear explanations of findings and treatment options, and time to ask questions without feeling rushed. Care is evidence-based and communicated clearly with your GP and other clinicians where appropriate.
​
Investigations are arranged efficiently and explained in plain language. Where surgery is recommended, patients are supported before and after treatment with a structured recovery plan. If investigations identify conditions requiring specialist surgery outside our scope, patients are promptly referred to trusted colleagues to ensure appropriate care.
​
This approach allows us to provide:
​
-
Consultant-led upper GI and general surgery
-
Minimally invasive techniques, including laparoscopic and keyhole surgery
-
Treatment for conditions such as gallstones, hernia, and acid reflux
-
A clear, coordinated pathway from diagnosis through to recovery

Clear Diagnostics and Informed Decisions
Accurate diagnosis is essential to effective treatment. Where appropriate, investigations such as gastroscopy, endoscopy, or therapeutic procedures may be recommended to better understand symptoms or confirm a diagnosis. These investigations are not treated as isolated tests.
Patients can expect:
-
Clear explanations of findings in plain language
-
Time to discuss results and next steps
-
Honest guidance on whether surgery, monitoring, or non-surgical treatment is appropriate
This approach supports informed decision-making and ensures treatment plans are tailored to the individual, not generic pathways.
