About Mr Mital Desai

GMC number: 6142513

Year qualified: 2000

Place of primary qualification: Gujarat

Mr Mital Desai is a consultant vascular and endovascular surgeon based at The Harley Street Clinic, London. His NHS practice is at St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and he also serves as a Clinical Senior Lecturer at St George's University of London. Mr Desai's clinical interests encompass lower extremity arterial disease, aortic aneurysms, carotid artery disease and TIAs/stroke, diabetic foot management, venous disease (including varicose veins and post-thrombotic limb), and cardiovascular risk management.

Mr Desai specialises in walk-in, walk-out procedures for varicose veins and leg ulcers, employing minimally invasive techniques such as radiofrequency ablation and ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy. He is highly skilled in these procedures, ensuring patients receive effective and efficient care.

Mr Desai earned his medical qualifications in India in 2003 and subsequently completed higher surgical training, recognised by The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. He relocated to the UK in 2006, where he spent a year training in vascular surgery at Wythenshawe Hospital, Manchester. He then moved to London to complete an MD in basic science vascular research, focusing on developing novel aortic stent-grafts for endovascular repair. His work in this area has earned him several grants and fellowship awards.

Mr Desai was accepted into a highly competitive clinical academic training programme funded by the National Institute for Health Research. He later completed a post-CCT fellowship at St Thomas’ Hospital, London, where he gained advanced endovascular training in aortic, lower extremity arterial, and deep venous disease. He joined St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust following this fellowship.

In addition to his clinical work, Mr Desai is dedicated to medical education. He has supervised both MSc and PhD students and mentored several students during their general surgery placements. He has also earned an educational fellowship at the London Postgraduate School of Surgery. Mr Desai has published numerous peer-reviewed papers and presented his research at various conferences.

Outside of his professional commitments, Mr Desai enjoys travel, cooking, contemporary Indian music, and sports. His diverse interests reflect his well-rounded personality and dedication to both his personal and professional life.
