George Pilcher was an English aural surgeon and medical reformer, born on 30 April 1801 and dead on 7 November 1855. He became a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 1824 and began practice in Soho, London, soon becoming lecturer on anatomy, physiology and surgery at the Webb Street school of medicine. He was long consulting surgeon to the Surrey Dispensary and had to contend with the quackery of John Harrison Curtis. In 1838 he won the Fothergillian prize for his treatise on the structure and pathology of the ear, and in 1842 he was elected president of the Medical Society of London. He lectured on surgery at St George Hospital from 1843, became an honorary fellow of the College in the same year and joined its council in 1849.
