Professor McGurk, Consultant Oral, Maxillofacial, Head and Neck Surgeon, Works within NHS as part of the North London Head and Neck Cancer Group. He is highly specialised in the treatment of oral and head and neck cancer, and salivary gland disease. He is also highly competent in reconstructive surgery.
Prof McGurk qualified in Medicine from Sheffield University and then proceeded to undertake specialist training in oral and maxillofacial surgery, during which he did a 6 month training period in the US. He later returned to Sheffield to complete his medical training.
Prof McGurk is a very active member of the research community, with previous research focusing on the early diagnosis of head and neck cancer, complications of surgery, and the use of minimally invasive surgery for head and neck cancer. He has also led a high-profile international trial on sentinel node biopsy which led to a 75% reduction in neck dissection for early mouth cancers. He has written several books on salivary disease and influenced the practice of salivary gland surgery to move from excision to gland preservation. Additionally, he has pioneered novel techniques in the treatment of odontogenic tumours (ameloblastoma) which preserves the mandible and normal facial appearance.
Previously, He has been the President of the British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and was the editor of the British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Currently, Prof McGurk lectures around the world at conferences and has developed and run courses on salivary gland surgery around the world for his colleagues.

Very calm and patient doctor. Explained me the procedure very nicely multiple times as I had come in for plunging ranula issue. Came to see me everyday in the hospital answered all my questions. His assistant is also brilliant. Highly recommended. Very knowledgeable.

Went to great lengths in explaining exactly what my operation involved and what to expect. Used cutting edge technology and as a result, surgery was minimally invasive. Successful outcome and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I can’t thank Prof McGurk enough for the way he supported me before, during, and after my surgery/hospital stay. Far exceeded expectations. I was visited everyday, kept well informed with my progress, and made to feel at ease. His bedside manner is second to none. And a sense of humour which came in handy during some of our conversations. I couldn’t have got through it without Prof McGurk.

Prof Mcgurk extracted a wrong tooth. He extracted my wisdom tooth (LL8) without my consent, instead of the actual tooth, LL7. He did not even mention anything about the wisdom tooth (or possible complications) during pre-consultation, however he asked me to sign some papers, but later he refused to provide me a copy. I found out about everything during post-consultation, once my dental nerve had been already damaged. I am disgusted and disconcerted by prof McGurk unprofessional practice and anti-ethical conduct. How such a Doctor (actually Professor) can lie and cheat on his patient, who came to receive medical help, it is outrageous.
