I have always found Mr Agrawal considerate and caring. He never rushes the appointment, takes time with explanations and makes sure he answers any questions before you leave. I would highly recommend him.

I was a very scared and very worried patient. Mr Agrawal was able to reassure me with his kind and professional manner. All my questions were answered and my trust in him had been absolute repaid. My surgery is barely visible, my after care is outstanding. It is a pleasure to see him and the team during my recovery. I cannot recommend Mr Agrawal enough for his surgical, professional and patient care skills. I am so pleased I chose him to help me during the most difficult time of my life.

Mr Agrawal treated me for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and an invasive cancer with a mastectomy and reconstruction. From the first meeting he acted swiftly and seriously with the appropriate balance of reassurance and pragmatism. His confidence and level of expertise made an enormous difference to the outcome of my treatment and immediately made me feel much more postive about the personal difficulties that would lie ahead. He outlined my diagnosis and prognosis and answered my questions with authority and very significant knowledge but he was also personable and warm. The treatment and support I received from the nurse Gwynedd was also extremely professional and very caring. I am very grateful to them both.
Profile
As a fully trained Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon, I carry out regular diagnostic fast track breast clinics and a full range of breast surgery, including sentinel node biopsy with intra-operative analysis, oncoplastic surgery and breast reconstruction. I also have a special interest in and undertake surgery for skin cancer.
I graduated from the London Hospital Medical College, University of London. My general surgical training was based around several centres of excellence in managing breast diseases, including The Royal Marsden Hospital where I developed oncoplastic techniques to optimise the cosmetic outcome of breast surgery.
I have always been interested in cancer surgery, and as part of my higher surgical training at the University College London, I was awarded a master's degree for my research into Gene Therapy for the prevention and treatment of cancer.
In 2007 I was appointed Consultant Surgeon at Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust. I have been the Clinical Lead/Head of department for the Breast and Endocrine Surgery and Surgical Oncology department for Portsmouth for over 10 years. I have also chaired and lead the Breast Multidisciplinary Team at Queen Alexandra Hospital for over 7 years.
I am the Surgical Lead for breast screening cancers and also the Joint Regional Lead for breast cancer for Wessex. I am the Lead Trainer for the Portsmouth National Oncoplastic Fellowship Program and have helped many trainees develop their skills for their consultant career.
