Mr David Exon is a vastly experienced consultant general surgeon based in Leicester who specialises in upper gastrointestinal surgery, bariatric surgery, hernia, gallbladder surgery, acid reflux and diabetes surgery. He attends to private patients at both Nuffield Health Leicester Hospital and Spire Leicester Hospital. 

He qualified from the University of London, completing his bachelor of medicine, bachelor of surgery training at the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine, before embarking on a higher surgical training path that took him from London to Hong Kong.
