I am an award-winning Consultant Ophthalmic and Oculoplastic Surgeon at the Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust, where I am the Oculoplastic Lead.
With extensive experience spanning more than 20 years, I specialise in modern cataract surgery, lid surgery, cosmetic eyelid surgery and non-surgical cosmetic treatments, management of the dry and watery eye and thyroid eye disease. I have specialist training in oculoplastic surgery of the eyelids and surrounding structures, including skin cancers, as well as surgery of the tear drainage system. I have performed and taught a vast number of specialist operations and have been recognised internationally for my work.
After completing my ophthalmic training in Leeds and the South East of England, I undertook two further fellowships in eyelid, lacrimal and cosmetic surgery at Maidstone Hospital and Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.
During this period, I was an Honorary Lecturer of the University of East Anglia and pursued research in cataract surgery and newer ways of imaging eyelid skin cancers.
I have a keen interest in medical education and training, leading me to become an Examiner for the Royal Collage of Ophthalmologists, a panellist for medical school admissions at University Collage London and for ST1 national Ophthalmology recruitment, as well as an Ophthalmology College Tutor at Maidstone Hospital.
I have produced more than 25 publications for international journals and delivered specialist lectures both nationally and internationally.
