Dr Jeremy Lynch
Consultant Interventional and Diagnostic Neuroradiologist
Dr Jeremy Lynch MBHCB MRCS FRCR is a London-based Consultant Interventional Neuroradiologist. He has been an NHS doctor for 13 years and is experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases involving the brain, head and neck, and spine. Dr Lynch trained in Medicine at the University of Bristol and qualified in 2007. He underwent several years of surgical training, during which he gained membership of the Royal College of Surgeons. He then underwent further specialisation in interventional radiology and neuroradiology in a range of specialist hospitals in London including the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Great Ormond Street Hospital, Kings College Hospital, St George’s Hospital, and Queen’s Hospital. He underwent a further international fellowship in Toronto Western Hospital in Canada where he was one of the first doctors in the world to gain experience in robotic endovascular techniques.
Dr Lynch has published several academic book chapters and journal articles. He is a reviewer for Clinical Neuroradiology. His special interests include the role of new technologies including artificial intelligence in the diagnosis of neurovascular disease. He has been invited to lecture on interventional neuroradiology and neuroimaging in international conferences. He is the author of the popular neurointerventional educational website neurotool.org.
Interventional Neuroradiology
Interventional neuroradiology (otherwise known as neurointerventional radiology or endovascular neurosurgery) is a medical specialty that deals with minimally invasive treatments for diseases of the brain and spine involving blood vessels. Common conditions that are treated include brain aneurysms, strokes, carotid stenosis, and brain tumour embolisation.

Your Consultation
Your consultation will take place in a relaxed and comfortable environment with time to address all of your concerns. Dr Lynch will begin by asking you about your problem, the effect that it has had upon your life and any specific questions that you might have. Dr Lynch will also ask you about any other medical conditions and any medications that you are taking. If you have brought along medical imaging to the consultation these will be reviewed.
Dr Lynch will discuss the diagnosis with you explaining the causes, prognosis and any further tests - such as blood tests or scans that might be needed. Often there is more than one treatment option and Dr Lynch will help you weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of these various options in order that you can decide which is best suited to you. Following the consultation, you will receive a detailed letter summarizing the findings and plan. Should you have any further questions you are welcome to contact the practice.
In his practice, Dr Lynch seeks to combine his rigorous clinical and academic training with an evidence-based application of both established and novel treatments to develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your goals. He looks forward to welcoming you to the clinic.
