About
Mr Rhys Thomas FRCS
Consultant General & Upper GI Surgeon
Specialist in Hernia, Gallbladder & Acid Reflux Surgery
Croydon University Hospital | HCA London Bridge | Shirley Oaks | Blackheath
🩺 About Me
I am a Consultant Surgeon with specialist expertise in general surgery, upper gastrointestinal (GI) conditions, keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery, and complex hernias. I treat both NHS and private patients across South London and Central London.
I lead the Upper GI surgery service at Croydon University Hospital, where I’ve developed dedicated pathways for managing gallstones, reflux, and complex abdominal wall hernias. The multidiscplinary team process I established for Abdominal Wall Reconstruction manages patients from throughout London, the South East and across the country, who have complicated abdominal hernisa of all types.
Many of my procedures are performed using minimally invasive (keyhole) techniques. However, I always take a patient-centred approach, tailoring treatment to each individual.

⛳ A Little More About Me
Outside of surgery, I’m a keen cyclist and single-figure handicap golfer. I bring the same focus and precision from sport into every aspect of my clinical practice.
