Dr Christian Barnick

I am an NHS and Private Obstetrician and Gynaecologist working in Central London. I perform routine well woman checks, smear tests fertility check ups. As well as caring for pregnant women I also specialise in Laparoscopic surgery, Endometriosis and Urogynaecology. I qualified at Guy’s Hospital in 1984 and have trained and worked ever since in London teaching hospitals. After passing my specialist exams (MRCOG) in 1991 I was honoured with the Fellowship of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (FRCOG) in 2005. I currently practice privately at The Portland Hospital and the Hospital of St John’s and St Elizabeth's and continue to work part-time in the NHS at the Homerton University Hospital.I run a recognised level three Endometriosis centre. During my career I have focussed my attention on building my practical skills to the highest possible standard. I do not want to give patients routine care, I wish to give them extraordinary, personalised care, excellent outcomes and to minimize complications. Many Gynaecological operations may be performed using Laparoscopic surgery, my aim is where possible to perform simple and complex gynaecological surgery using Minimal Access Techniques in order to maximise surgical outcome and minimise hospital stay and patient morbidity. I also believe that where open surgery is necessary this needs to be performed gently and with finesse in order to minimize complications and speed recovery.

Areas of interest Smear tests; well woman checks, vaginal discharge; heavy and periods; contraception; pelvic pain; fertility investigations; polycystic ovaries; endometriosis; fibroids; laparoscopic surgery; prolapse; incontinence; antenatal care and delivery; obstetrics and caesarean. All aspects of Minimal Access surgery in Gynaecology and fertility. In particular grade 4 endometriosis surgery
