Mrs Devalia practises at the Cleveland Clinic and Portland Place Outpatient Centre, both in central London. She is currently working as a consultant surgeon at the Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust since 2011. Some of her areas of expertise include bariatric (weight loss) surgery, treatment for gallstones, acid reflux and hernia procedures.

Mrs Devalia can also offer an expert advise on pharmacological methods of weight loss which may be more suited for some patients who are not keen on weight loss surgery and have at least one weight related condition and exceptionally, to people with BMI of 30.0 kg/m2 to 34.9 kg/m2. This is a part of a specialist weight management service with multidisciplinary input.

Mrs Devalia has a special clinical interest in surgery for severe obesity, gastrointestinal surgery and advanced laparoscopic surgery. She is one of the UK’s most trusted bariatric surgeons, having performed over 1000 laparoscopic procedures including bariatric procedures such as laparoscopic gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy over the course of her career.

Mrs Devalia has received extensive training across the UK, India and Belgium. She graduated with an MBBS from the University of Mumbai in 1989, before going on to qualify with a FRCS (Edin) at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and a FRCS (Glas) at the Royal College of Surgeons of Glasgow, both in 2000. Mrs Devalia then received her FRCS (Gen Surg) in 2011.

When Mrs Devalia is not treating patients, she carries out research into a wide range of bariatric treatments, and has published numerous articles in peer-reviewed journals. She is also a faculty member for various different medical training courses and international symposiums at Homerton University Hospital.
