ABOUT JONATHAN RAMSAY

MALE FERTILITY | LONDON | BEACONSFIELD

Mr Jonathan Ramsay

FRCS(Eng) 1982 MS(London) 1986 FRCS(Urol) 1987

Jonathan Ramsay has developed a large practice in male fertility for over 30 years.

Jonathan has been a Consultant Urologist at Hammersmith, Charing Cross and Chelsea & Westminster Hospitals since 1988. He works closely with the fertility units, both at Hammersmith and Chelsea, and he is also a visiting urologist to fertility clinics in Buckinghamshire, Sussex, and Central London. He has recently been awarded an Honorary Contract at Imperial College.

Mr Ramsay's research interests and recent publications include the reasons for poor quality sperm and the relationship of semen analysis, DNA quality of sperm and evidence of inflammation in the genital tract, and the relevance of the microbiome to male and female fertility.

We are particularly interested in trying to explain (and treat) unexplained infertility either to avoid IVF and ICSI or to make further cycle of treatments more successful.

Current research is involved with in-depth assessment of surgically-retrieved sperm both in cases of non-obstructive and obstructive azoospermia and vasectomy reversal. We also looked again at the effect of varicocele repair and recent research (presented at AUA 2023) confirms the importance of varicocele treatment in selected patients. Further, advanced research has Mr Ramsay working on Cell Free DNA and predicting outcomes in non-obstructive azoospermia.

Mr Ramsay is proud to have been awarded the title of Visiting Professor at Ulster University in May 2025.

The Team

This independent team works to provide a comprehensive service for men including all investigations on the site with the input of specialists in all aspects of men's health. We also work closely with nutritionists dedicated to all issues of fertility. Straightforward semen analysis is undertaken onsite with results available within an hour and advanced sperm testing is also available when needed. One of our embryologists also specialises in sperm cryopreservation and has developed a sperm donor bank. We also aim to provide ultrasound scans, usually on the same day as consultation. 

I have a great assistant, Alison, who works with me to help run everything from booking appointments to answering patient enquiries, and without whom I would be lost! We also have a team of specialists in male and couple’s fertility to ensure that each patient receives the best possible care.
