He was the recipient of a Master of Surgery MS in Surgery for his published thesis from the University of London.

Acid Reflux
I was very happy with my appointment and the follow up endoscopy. I was pleased that Mr Warren agreed to give me sedation for the endoscopy despite the fact that he would much rather have only numbed my throat. The follow up letters were immediate which was excellent and his explanatory phone call was also very good.

Haemorrhoids Skin Lesion Removal
From my first appointment in outpatients to my telephone appointment (due to covid) after surgery and a day as an inpatient, Mr Warren was friendly and professional, he explained everything really clearly and answered any questions I had fully. He completely put me at ease before the surgery and did not rush me at any of the appointments so I felt I had plenty of time to ask anything I was not sure about.

Patient seen for:
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
I was referred to Mr Stephen Warren by my GP following a period of two months when I had been experiencing a twinging pain in the right side of my abdomen and I then developed generalised griping pains which were accompanied by diarrhoea. I was fortunate to be able to make an appointment to see him very quickly. Mr Warren examined my abdomen thoroughly and told me that he could not feel any masses which was very reassuring. He recommended that I had a MRI scan which was performed six days later and I had an appointment two days following this when Mr Warren gave me the results. My experience of seeing Mr Warren was that he gave me complete confidence in his professionalism and knowledge and that whatever the outcome of the examinations I would be in safe hands. The result of the MRI was that there was nothing of a serious nature to concern me and Mr Warren gave me excellent advice in an understanding and caring manner.
