Mr Vishal Prasad

Mr Vishal Prasad is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, specialising in the spine.

Training and Appointment

Mr Prasad studied at both St Andrews University in Scotland and also Manchester University. His basic surgical training was undertaken around Manchester before gaining entry into the South West Thames rotation. Throughout his training he had a strong interest in spinal surgery. He tailored his rotation towards spine and worked with most of the spinal consultants on the South West Thames rotation.

He accumulated three years of experience in degenerative, tumour and trauma surgery and consolidated his training with a 12-month fellowship in adult and paediatric deformity, as well as complex revision surgery at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital. 

He was then appointed as a locum spinal consultant for 16 months at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, to continue to develop his skills to the highest standard. As a result of his focused spinal training he has been involved in over 400 anterior and posterior scoliosis operations, 165 lumbar decompression and fusions, 130 lumbar decompressions, 50 cervical procedures and 60 trauma and tumour cases.

Current Practice

Mr Prasad's experience has been very hands on, and he particularly enjoys tailoring his treatment to patients' needs.  He had excellent clinical outcomes for orthopaedic and spinal surgery and his results demonstrate his emphasis towards patient care.
