Background Information 
Professional profile:
I am pleased to offer a comprehensive repertoire of plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures as detailed below, to those seeking to improve/alter their appearance. In keeping with good clinical practice, I prefer to consult with all new patients at least twice; the second time at no extra charge.

Personal profile:
I am a consultant plastic surgeon at Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital and Addenbrooke's Hospital and Unit Director of the Plastic Surgery Department at Addenbrooke's Hospital; I am also part of the multi-disciplinary team at the Cambridge Breast Unit. I studied at St Thomas' Hospital Medical School and have been privileged to train in busy regional plastic surgey units in Chepstow, East Grinstead and London's Charing Cross Hospital.

I acquired additional expertise in breast reconstruction and plastic surgery of the breast in Atlanta, Georgia; in breast reconstruction at the Royal Marsden Hospital, London and in aesthetic (cosmetic) surgery at the Wellington Hospital, London. A period of full time research culminated in my being awarded the Hunterian Professorship by the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

Whilst enjoying all aspects of plastic surgery I have a personal interest in breast reconstruction and congenital and aesthetic problems of the breast.
