About Mr Rajwinder Nijjar

Mr Nijjar qualified from the University of Birmingham in 1994 and brings over 30 years of surgical experience. He specialises in minimally invasive surgery, with around 90% of his operations performed using keyhole or laparoscopic techniques. For his patients, this approach can mean less pain after surgery, less time off work and a quicker return to normal activity.

His areas of focus include surgery for gallstones, hernias, acid reflux, weight loss, and cancers of the oesophagus and stomach. He is also highly trained in endoscopy, offering treatments for blockages and the removal of polyps.

Mr Nijjar has published widely across his areas of specialism and has carried out collaborative research with University College London. He has trained alongside leading experts in the UK, Europe, Japan and Australia, and has performed many thousands of surgeries.

His practice via non-private routes is based across Queen Elizabeth, Heartlands and Solihull Hospitals. For over five years he led the Upper GI service for Birmingham, covering a population of more than three million. During that time he developed a gallstone treatment service caring for over 1,000 patients a year and reorganised the Upper GI cancer services for the Birmingham area.

Mr Nijjar teaches and trains future surgeons and examines trainees for the Royal College of Surgeons. He sits on the national council of the Association of Upper GI Surgeons, representing the interests of surgeons, trainees and patients across the whole of the West Midlands region.

“ Great level of customer service and care. From my initial call back, conversations with Sally, dietician, pre op nurse and of course Dr John Robinson, the whole team have been excellent. I have the greatest of thanks for them all for being the start of my journey to getting healthy with my weightloss. ”

“ I've been dealing with Sally so far on my weightloss journey and she has made everything so easy to understand and is such a great help. ”

“ Just like to say how Nic really helped me through my weight loss. I had a gastric band fitted 2 years ago at a size 22 I am now a size 8/10 and Nicola was there for me every step of the way, for help and advice I would highly recommend her to anyone whom is thinking of getting this procedure, as it's a life changing decision. Nicola is there every day at the end of a phone to help encourage and support and getting support is so important. I started off at nearly 17 stone but weigh in at 9 stone 9 lbs today I would just like to say a massive thank you and I look forward to all you help and support in the future. ”

“ Nic has superb surgical skills, She is very knowledgeable and will hold your hand throughout your journey. You need to be in safe hands, both physically and emotionally on this journey, and you could have no better guardian than this lady. ”

“ Making the decision to have a Gastric Band fitted was the best thing I've ever done. I've lost around 5 stone in total and my life has been transformed! It was really scary at the beginning. I don't think I could have done it without the constant support of Nicola and her team. It's surprising that even today, there isn't a real reputable online forum where you can get all the information you need surrounding your band and what to do if there are any problems. ”

“ At 4ft 10 inches and weighing in at 14st 7lb it’s easy to see that I had to make some changes so I’d like to share with you my story As I started out on my journey back in July 2015 I could never dream I would come as far as I have today and all the wonderful help and support I have received from a variety of people from the dieticians and Nikki my favourite nurse (ha ha ha) who has helped me come along way. ”
