About me
Mr Ashwin Sridhar is a Consultant Urologist with specialist expertise in robotic pelvic cancer surgery and reconstructive urology, seeing patients privately at LSDC Healthcare in the City of London. He is also an NHS consultant at University College London Hospitals (UCLH), where his work centres on prostate and bladder cancer pathways and optimising functional outcomes after treatment.
His clinical style is pragmatic: establish the diagnosis efficiently, confirm what matters with the right investigations, and move to a decision-ready plan with realistic timelines and clear options. Patients commonly seek him out for time-sensitive issues such as raised PSA, blood in urine, suspected prostate or bladder pathology, and complex cases where prior opinions or results feel inconclusive.
Mr Sridhar has a strong interest in surgical quality, innovation, and education particularly the role of technology in improving surgical technique and patient pathways. This translates into careful pre-operative planning, structured follow-up, and a focus on outcomes that matter to patients, including recovery, urinary function, and quality of life.
