As an experienced consultant colorectal and general surgeon, he is a national leader and international trainer in robotic surgery, specialising in the treatment of cancer and non-cancerous bowel conditions plus abdominal wall and groin hernias.

Dr. Evans undertook basic surgical training in London and was awarded an MD from the University of London following research into colorectal cancer and minimally invasive surgery. He undertook higher surgical training at the Oxford Deanery following which he was selected for the National Ethicon Fellowship in Advanced Colorectal Surgery. He completed his training with a further fellowship in complex colorectal surgery at St Mark's Hospital, London.

Since 2019 Dr. Evans has been a proctor in robotic surgery for Intuitive Surgical. Across Europe, South Africa and the UK, he has trained colorectal surgeons as they commence robotic surgery and then later when they are developing their robotic skills to perform more advance cases. This includes lectures, webinars leading cadaveric courses, performing live case observations and onsite proctoring.
