Mr Shafi Wardak
Consultant Urological Surgeon - Andrologist
MBBS, BSc, MSc, FRCS (Urol)
I am a Consultant Urological Surgeon at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, where I have practiced for the past five years. My specialist expertise includes the comprehensive assessment and management of male infertility, and I offer a full range of surgical sperm retrieval techniques to support assisted conception.
I am fellowship trained in penile prosthetic surgery, providing both malleable and inflatable implants, and have advanced expertise in the surgical correction of Peyronie’s disease, including plication and grafting techniques. I also provide a regional service for the diagnosis and management of male hypogonadism (low testosterone).
I have played a key role in expanding specialist services across the Thames Valley, having established two major regional pathways: a nationally commissioned NHS male fertility service and a dedicated penile implant service for men with end-stage erectile dysfunction.
I graduated from University College London in 2009 with an MBBS degree, following a bachelor’s degree in medical sciences from the University of London and a master’s degree in Surgical Technology from Imperial College London. My higher surgical training was undertaken at leading London teaching hospitals, including The Royal London Hospital, Guy’s & St Thomas’, and University College London Hospitals (UCLH). I subsequently completed a senior fellowship at the Institute of Andrology at UCLH, where I developed advanced expertise in male infertility, penile prosthetic surgery, and complex genital reconstruction.
I have a keen interest in research, with publications in high-impact, peer-reviewed scientific journals, and I regularly present my work at both national and international academic conferences.
