Clinic phone lines: Monday–Friday, 8am–4pm

A specialist clinic built around three urology specialists

We cover all aspects of urology with specific expertise in andrology and men's health — delivering evidence-based treatment in a private, supportive environment.

Who we are

The Andrology Centre is a specialist clinic covering all aspects of urology, with particular expertise in andrology and men's health. Our team understands the health concerns men face — many of which are difficult to raise — and provides evidence-based treatment in a private, supportive environment.

We believe in clear communication, accurate diagnosis and long-term health solutions, delivered by leading experts with you at the heart of every decision.

All our specialists practise at Guy's & St Thomas' Hospital — one of the largest teaching hospitals in the UK, and ranked the No. 1 urology service in Europe in Newsweek's 2025 World's Best Specialised Hospitals rankings.

Our commitment to excellence

We continuously update our clinical practice in line with the latest medical research and guidelines, including those published by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) and the European Association of Urology (EAU). Our clinical lead, Maj Shabbir, has been involved in writing several national practice guidelines in the UK, including most recently the NICE guidelines on Fertility problems (2026).

Our goal is to deliver high-quality, evidence-based care that improves not only your symptoms but your overall health, confidence and quality of life.

An honest opinion, including when it is "no"

Not every symptom needs treatment, and not every patient who books a consultation leaves with a prescription or a surgical date. Where watchful waiting or a lifestyle change is the right answer, that is what we will tell you. Several of the patient comments we receive make exactly this point — and we would rather earn a recommendation than a single fee.
