Mr Badri Srinivasan

I have been a consultant Oral & Maxillofacial surgeon for over five years. I specialise in head and neck oncology, reconstruction, the skull base access, dentoalveolar procedures, salivary gland surgery, skin cancer surgery, wisdom teeth extractions and difficult dental extractions. I have a keen interest on performing skin cancer surgery under local anaesthetic, which I complete at Spire Southampton hospital.

My main interest is in head and neck oncology with reconstruction after removal of the cancer.  I also help with skul lbase access. These are longer more extensive procedures which are generally completed at the University Hospital Southampton. My main area of practice at the Spire Southampton Hospital is dentoalveolar procedures, extraction of wisdom teeth and difficult extraction of teeth. I am also involved in exposure of teeth to facilitate orthodontic treatment. And complete a lot of paediatric dental procedures including skin tag removal. 

I have been successfully working as a consultant for over 5 years now and have gained plenty of experience in head and neck oncology, reconstruction, skull base access, salivary gland surgery, skin cancer surgery, noncancer skin surgery in head and neck, wisdom teeth extraction, difficult teeth extraction and exposure of teeth for orthodontic procedures. I routinely perform paediatric dental cases requiring extractions.

To date, in the last five years, and prior to that in training since 2004, I have performed over a 1000 wisdom tooth extraction, difficult surgical extractions of teeth and exposure of teeth needed for orthodontic procedures. I have performed many skin cancer surgical procedures at Spire Southampton Hospital. In addition to my clinical work, at the University Hospital Southampton, I am involved in teaching medical students and conducting examinations for them. I am also a dental core trainee lead for the junior doctors in Southampton in my department.

I practiced dental surgery in India for four years before I moved to the United Kingdom. I worked as a junior doctor in Oral & Maxillofacial surgery at Poole General Hospital from 2004-2006. I then went to medical school to obtain my MBBS at King's college London, one  of the most prestigious universities in the country. 

After I finished my MBBS, I did my basic surgical training at University Hospital Southampton between 2000 and 2014. During this time I obtained my membership to the Royal College of Surgeons, MRCS.

I then applied to gain speciality training in Oral & Maxillofacial surgery. I completed a five year programme in the Wessex deanery working at University Hospital Southampton, Portsmouth Hospitals University trust, St Richard's Hospital Chichester and University Hospital Dorset.  I completed my speciality training and obtained my completion certificate in training in 2019 CCT. This allowed me to enter the specialist register of Oral & Maxillofacial surgery in the GMC.I am also fully registered with the general dental council.

Finally, I completed a Head and Neck Oncology fellowship at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital QEUH, Glasgow in 2019. I started practising as a consultant in January 2020.
