About Me

Henry

Dowson

I trained at Charing Cross Medical School, and underwent specialist training in London, Australia, and at laparoscopic centres in Guildford and at Frimley Park. My specialist training was in gastrointestinal surgery, with sub-specialist training in colorectal surgery within the South West Thames region. I undertook a higher degree at the University of Surrey, and was awarded an MD for research into laparoscopic colorectal surgery. At the end of my training, I spent a year in Adelaide, Australia, doing a surgical fellowship (and enjoying the weather).

I work as part of an excellent team of surgeons, nurses and other specialists at Frimley . My philosophy is to offer the highest level of care in a friendly, patient-centred manner, working within a multidisciplinary team. This ensures patients are well-supported from initial consultation to diagnosis and treatment, and have the best possible medical care.

My NHS practice is based at Frimley Park Hospital, and see private patients at the Parkside Suite at Frimley Park, and at Spire Clare Park Hospital near Farnham in Surrey.

I am married to Fiona, who is an orthopaedic surgeon, and we have two children. interests include cycling – both on the road, and mountain-biking; squash; music; bridge; and I enjoy good food, wine, & company! I learnt to kitesurf in Australia, but don’t find much time for it now!
