About Mr Frank Lee

Mr Frank Lee is a Consultant Urological Surgeon and Neuro-Urologist at the London Spinal Cord Injury Centre, Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital. With more than 20 years’ experience as a consultant, he specialises in complex bladder dysfunction associated with spinal cord injury, cauda equina syndrome, multiple sclerosis, spina bifida, traumatic brain injury and other neurological conditions.

Mr Lee studied medicine at the University of Cambridge and completed specialist urology training in London. He was awarded FRCS (Urol) in 2003 and entered the GMC Specialist Register in Urology in 2004.

He was appointed Consultant Urological Surgeon at St George’s Hospital in 2004 and was Honorary Senior Lecturer at St George’s, University of London from 2004 to 2015. He served as Head of Department from 2008 to 2011. In the earlier part of his consultant career, his work included major and reconstructive urological surgery, the introduction of botulinum toxin treatment for overactive and neurogenic bladder, and development of an artificial urinary sphincter service for adult and adolescent patients.

From joining the London Spinal Cord Injury Centre in 2015 until 2022, Mr Lee continued to provide complex bladder management and surgery, with a particular focus on neuro-urology, urodynamics and the long-term care of patients with spinal cord injury and other neurological conditions.

As a highly experienced senior urological surgeon and neuro-urology specialist, Mr Lee has since 2022 increasingly focused on a clinical consultancy role. He now places greater emphasis on complex assessment, second opinions, specialist review, clear explanation of treatment choices, and helping patients and referring clinicians decide on the most appropriate next step. Where major surgery may be required, he provides clear advice on the available options and can help coordinate referral to an appropriate specialist surgical team. He received the iWantGreatCare Certificate of Excellence in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025.

Alongside this clinical consultancy, Mr Lee has developed a substantial independent expert-witness practice in personal injury and clinical negligence. He is an Expert Witness and Mentor with Pathway Expert Chambers. His extensive clinical background enables him to provide clear, objective opinion for the courts on causation, condition, prognosis, treatment and future urological care.

This focused portfolio allows him to give appropriate time and attention to complex consultations and medico-legal instructions. Outside medicine, he practises Taekwondo, holds a Second Dan Black Belt and volunteers with Disability Snowsport UK.
