Very good support from start to finish of my consultation and surgery.
Would recommend Simon and his support team to anybody that requires his expertise.
I would also recommend the use of the Genisis Care in Oxford, it’s a great facility.

Very personable, kind and really made an effort to explain everything clearly, without jargon. Explained the risks of my surgery, as necessary, but I was so reassured by his experience in this field. He really took my own personal circumstances into consideration, specifically my want to have children in future and gave me the best chance of this happening naturally. When I woke from surgery he was at my bed ready to reassure me that everything went to plan and was successful and he was so accessible via email when I needed to liaise with him (I travelled from abroad to get my surgery with Mr.Cudlip). I'm delighted to say that I recovered very well after surgery and fell pregnant just over a year later, I genuinely believe that this is an opportunity I would not have had with a less competent surgeon. I can't recommend Mr.Cudlip enough, an absolute leader in his field!

Mr Cudlip is truly one of the best at what he does. I was treated by Mr Cudlip for a pituitary tumour and could not have been in better hands. Unfortunately due to covid many procedures were put on hold during lockdown. Mr Cudlip did all he could to ensure I was treated as soon as possible given my situation and ensured I was not only operated on in a timely manner but also ensured I had the best follow up care possible too. He is extremely knowledgeable about his speciality and skilled, and has a very calm and friendly manner, and although I'm sure very busy,, was always approachable and on hand whenever I had any questions or queries. I can't recommend him and the team he works with enough. Very pleased and grateful for the care I recieved.

Profile
Simon Cudlip is currently Lead Clinician for Neurosurgery at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust.
He graduated from King’s College School of Medicine, London in 1990. During this period he also gained a BSc first class (Hons) in immunology. Following a period of training in general surgery in London he entered the neurosurgery training programme in London based at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square, and the Atkinson Morley Hospital, London. During this period of training he completed his MD thesis in MRI imaging of peripheral nerve and published numerous papers on this topic and on MRI spectroscopy of brain tumours.
On completion of his general neurosurgical training in 2003, he spent a year as a fellow at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square as the Pituitary Fellow to Mr Michael Powell. In addition to this he visited Naples and Bologna to gain experience in endoscopic pituitary surgery, and Seattle as a visiting fellow.
In 2004 he was appointed as Consultant in Neurosurgery with a specialist interest in pituitary and skull-base surgery in Oxford, and Honorary Senior Lecturer in Neurosurgery at the University of Oxford. Since this time he has performed nearly 2000 transsphenoidal operations for pituitary disease, these have been performed using a pure endoscopic technique since 2007. As a result of this Oxford has the best established nationally recognised pituitary surgical training fellowship in the UK. These endoscopic techniques have now been developed further with his colleague Puneet Plaha, and extended into surgery for intrinsic brain tumours. He has published numerous papers, book chapters and reviews on the topic of pituitary surgery, and is a tutor at the College of Surgeons of England and numerous international courses, teaching endoscopic surgical techniques.
He also has an interest in minimally invasive brain surgery for tumours, and minimally invasive spine surgery. He also runs a course on cervical disc replacement surgery in Amsterdam and the UK.
