Mr Karan Wadhwa is an experienced consultant urological surgeon practising in Essex. He can treat a wide range of urological conditions, including prostate cancer diagnosis, benign prostate enlargement, urinary tract infections/prostatitis, foreskin/scrotum problems and blood in the urine.
Mr Wadhwa did his undergraduate studies at the University of Nottingham in 2006 before undertaking his medical training in Nottinghamshire and surgical training in the Southwest. As an academic clinical fellow, he completed his urological training in the East of England with Cambridge University, where he would also be awarded a PhD for his research in the detection of prostate cancer in 2015, funded by a competitive grant from the Medical Research Council. This has led to the innovation of the use of MRI imaging scans in diagnostics for prostate cancer. He trained further at other hospitals in the region, including Addenbrookes, Ipswich, and the Norfolk & Norwich Hospital.
Aside from being a dedicated urologist, Mr Wadhwa is also passionate about education and is an associate fellow of the Higher Education Academy. As both an associate and honorary clinical lecturer at Anglia Ruskin University, he leads educational programmes and mentors cohorts of medical students. Mr Wadhwa has multiple publications covering a range of urological topics, which have been presented at several national and international conferences and have been recognised with awards and prizes. His clinical interests include minimally invasive renal surgical techniques including robotic total and robotic partial nephrectomy. He is also actively involved in diagnostic urology, treatment of urological infections, and penoscrotal conditions. Currently, he is the clinical lead for the Department of Urology at Broomfield Hospital and has contributed to pioneering research projects to improve patient outcomes.

- Was very impressed. Mr Karan Wadhwa was very friendly, and easy to talk to, and explained things very thoroughly to me.
- My Consultant at the Phoenix Hospital, Mr Wadhwa was very efficient kind and compassionate.. I felt listened to and he took the time to explain the actions going forward in a way that I could understand. The tests I needed were arranged quickly and results given straight away alleviating any worry or fears. I am delighted that the follow up treatment has been successful. Mr Wadhwa was very reassuring throughout. The Phoenix hospital is a calm environment very convenient to get to and park.
- I am very pleased to highly recommend Mr Wadhwa. He is an excellent urologist who successfully treated a long standing condition which I had been previously told was just an age thing which needed no further treatment. Phoenix Hospital is an excellent facility set in an easy to get to location, it is bright and modern with lovely reception staff. The waiting area is very comfortable and relaxing with good refreshments available.
- Mr Wadhwa is an exceptional consultant, who does not rush his consultations. He will take time to explain and answer your questions putting you at complete ease. His secretary responds in quick time and without fuss. I’d have no issue in recommending their services, truly professional on all levels from initial booking, consultation, surgery and follow up. I had my procedure at Springfield which was also faultless.
- Very satisfied, pleasant experience, made everything very clear and understandable. Thank you.
- I saw Mr Wadhwa in desperation; despite an “urgent “ referral from my GP to Broomfield hospital I found I would have to wait at least six months for an initial consultation.. Mr Wadhwa was positive, sympathetic and motivated, he recommended initial treatment (suggested I presented myself at A&E which I did, that alone has made me feel much better) and I have decided to have the necessary follow up procedure privately.. I am very satisfied.
- Superb doctor. Seen very fast every time and solutions found quickly. Attentive and helpful
- Mr Wadwha is a very caring gentleman who was genuinely pleased with my progress. Him and his team put me at ease straight away. I would highly recommend him.
- Excellent experience - great friemdly manner & clear & concise communication.
