Mr Gore understands that gynaecological symptoms can be deeply personal and may significantly affect everyday life, relationships, work and emotional wellbeing. His approach is calm, thorough and patient-centred. He takes time to listen carefully, explain investigations and treatment options clearly, and support each patient in making informed decisions about her care.
Where surgery is appropriate, his expertise includes laparoscopic excision of endometriosis, robotic and laparoscopic hysterectomy, myomectomy, ovarian cystectomy, ureterolysis and diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy. He completed advanced specialist training at the BSGE-accredited Colchester Endometriosis Centre and holds the European Diploma in Gynaecological Endoscopic Surgery through GESEA/ESGE, together with BIARGS-accredited robotic surgery training.
Alongside clinical practice, Mr Gore is involved in research, surgical education and innovation in women’s health. His academic work includes abstracts published in BJOG and international presentations on endometriosis, robotic surgery and minimally invasive gynaecology. He is also Co-Principal Investigator and Programme Coordinator for AIM4SafeBaby, an Innovate UK award-winning women’s health research and innovation programme.

- I saw Dr Gore today, I have honestly never felt heard or as listened too as he made me feel today. He was very professional and made me feel safe. He validated my feelings and symptoms and even showed me a diagram of the body with my medical condition and explained to me how and why it happens, I came out with more understanding and knowledge and comfort knowing we have made a plan going forward. HIGHLY recommend. Thank you Dr Gore.
- I had a lovely meeting with Dr Rahul Gore today who was very pleasant and polite. I would have liked Dr Gore to speak a little slower so that I could understand him better.
- Mr Rahul Gore made me feel at ease and I finally felt like a doctor was listening to all my symptoms and concerns. I felt so much happier after leaving my consultation as I have an action plan and steps going forward. I highly recommend Mr Gore
- Mr Gore provided comrehensive information on my procedure and was very reassuring throughout. He and his team looked after me exceptionally well and I would not hesitate to recommend him.
- I cannot recommend Mr Gore highly enough. From the moment the appointment began, he demonstrated incredible kindness and genuine empathy, instantly making me feel comfortable. What stood out most was how thoroughly he explained my conditions. Mr Gore is exceptionally knowledgeable and answered all of my questions patiently and never made me feel rushed.
- Mr Gore is incredible! I saw him today after years of chronic pain that left me unable to work. I paid privately but told him I needed to return to the NHS as I was self-funded. Terrified I'd be dismissed, he looked me in the eyes and said, "If I see you here or on the NHS, I promise I’m going to look after you." I'll never forget it. He truly listened, explained everything, fast-tracked an MRI within a week, and now I'm awaiting surgery. He has given me hope to live again!
- Attending this clinic is the first time in a long time where I didn’t feel like I was over explaining what was wrong - I felt listened to, by someone who understood the condition, was able to empathise and advise on fact supported treatment paths. I highly recommend Mr Gore based on our first consultation to anyone who has struggled to find support for endometriosis and related disease.
- Good explanation of examinations required and took time to go through options.
- Mr Gore is a very professional, knowledgeable and highly passionate consultant. His advice and care is outstanding.
