The McCarthy Clinic

The McCarthy Clinic was established by Kathryn McCarthy, a Bristol based private colorectal + general surgeon. Kathryn is an NHS colorectal surgeon now offering private minor surgery in clinic including anal and rectal conditions. This service is innovative as usually these procedures are offered under general anaesthetic and can face substantial waiting list times. Since lockdown the waiting lists have grown make it harder for patients with these conditions to access surgical treatment. These conditions can often be embarrassing and some not routinely funded on the NHS (anal skin tags).

Kathryn is an expert in anal sphincter injuries after childbirth, incontinence, piles, anal skin tags, skin tags elsewhere on the body, anal fissures, anal fistula, polyps and pilonidal disease. Continence is at the heart of her care and every effort will be made to offer clinic based minor operations that preserve the anal sphincter. Procedures will be short, performed in the clinic at the Litfield House Medical Centre, Bristol, and comfortable. Waiting times are short. Litfield House provides private medical care for patients and is easily accessible for patients in Bristol, South Gloucestershire, Somerset and Cardiff.
