GMC: 3297377Professional statement
Mr Majid Hashemi is a prolific London-based consultant surgeon, specialising in anti-reflux surgery and laparoscopic (keyhole) bariatric surgery. As one of London's most esteemed surgeons, he has wide experience in a range of surgical treatments, including surgery for hiatal hernia, anti-reflux surgery, bariatric surgery, and oesophageal & gastric cancer surgery. Mr Hashemi holds a notable safety record, with over 3,000 stomach and oesophagus operations performed at a zero mortality rate. Mr Hashemi has performed a range of 'firsts' in surgery, including the first laparoscopic gastric bypass and first laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in North London in 2004 and the first LINX implant for reflux in London in 2013. In 2017, he performed the first ever implant of a LINX device on top of a sleeve gastrectomy.
Mr Hashemi is one of the only 12 surgeons in the UK who can currently offer the LINX procedure as a method of treatment for acid reflux. His significant experience allows him to give a focused, patient-centred approach, tailoring treatment for each individual and their specific needs. A large proportion of Mr Hashemi's patients are colleagues or relatives of colleagues, and this is a driving force for Mr Hashemi and his team to continue providing only the best in tailored, personalised patient care.
Through his dedication to innovation in surgery, Mr Hashemi established and chaired one of the country's first bariatric surgery services with a multidisciplinary approach, providing patients with 'one-stop' care, diagnosis and treatment from a range of specialties. The establishment of the first bariatric surgery team in North London allowed Mr Hashemi to develop surgical approaches, and provide training for many of today’s bariatric and upper GI surgeons.
He currently is Chair for the National Achalasia Patient Support Group, and has one of the longest and most extensive experience in the surgical treatment of achalasia in the capital. Mr Hashemi is also an active researcher, and maintains a strong interest in education, having previously held tutoring and lecturing positions at University College and the Whittington Hospital. He is published extensively and is regularly invited to speak at conferences both on a national and international level. He continues to be involved in training for laparoscopic and bariatric surgery, and acts as supervisor for a number of research projects.

- Mr Hashemi is everything I could hope for. I initially saw him 20 years ago and have kept in touch over my condition ever since. He is clearly extremely expert in his field but, just as important for me, he is warm, personable and his interest and concern are obvious.
- I have only given 4 stars for quality of care because all the documents provided to the doctor fore the consultation were not copied into the file.
- Dr. Hashemi treated me for a malignant GIST. What really sets him apart is his vast experience and the empathetic manner in which he dealt with a complex issue. He reassured me and explained the options for treatment which was spot on. He's a gifted doctor and highly recommended.
- Majid Hashemi transformed my life when he repaired a haitus hernia that had become progressively worse, leading to sleepless nights and great discomfort. The level of care and consideration shown by Mr Hashemi was second to none. I have co-morbidities, so it was a worrying time for me, but I couldn't have been in safer hands. A year later, I am still free from all symptoms and my life is so much more pleasant. I am and will be eternally grateful to Majid.
- Great Doctor by taking the time to provide alternatives .
- I selected Majid Hashemi to undertake my Hiatus Hernia operation only after carrying out widespread research into who would be the best to do this. Mr Hashemi was very strongly recommended and proved to be totally outstanding with great surgical skill and personal charm .
- One of the best doctors I have ever dealt with! He is very dedicated to his job and pays great attention to the details. Even though Dr. Hashemi was not involved in my treatment from the beginning of it, he did carefully review all my results and was always happy to answer all my questions. He did LINX surgery on me which gave me my life back. I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends.
- Yes in each case. 5 stars in each case. Hashemi I a very fine surgeon who literally changed my life and made it 100% better. I would and indeed have recommended him to a friend.
- Mr Hashemi has been nothing but professional and helpful for the entire duration of my case. Taking extra caution and attention to detail, he performed a Gastric Bypass which has helped my condition drastically and improved my quality of life. I can not recommend him more!Doctor's response -Thank you for your kind comments. I appreciate your trust and confidence in myself and the team and it was a privilege to treat to treat you.
- Excellent care throughout.I had virtually no discomfort after an Inguinal hernia repair.Doctor's response -Thank you for your positive feedback and thank you very much for choosing to place your care in our hands.
