"Spire Leicester Hospital has been very welcoming and the staff there have been very helpful and pleasant to work with."


Specialises in

  • Epilepsy
  • Muscle disease
  • Pain management
  • Strokes
  • Peripheral nerve disease

I specialise in neurology and look after a wide range of neurological conditions but my primary area of interest is multiple sclerosis.

I have a special interest in the assessment and management of a wide range of neurological conditions, including headaches, memory disorders, movement disorders, neurogenetics, neuro‑immunological and neuromuscular disorders, neuro‑ophthalmology conditions and sleep disorders.

I qualified from medical school in 2008. I moved to the UK in 2010 where I completed my foundation and core medical training. I completed neurology specialist training in 2021 and spent two years on a research fellowship in multiple sclerosis. I have been a Consultant Neurologist Since 2021.

I was previously the lead for the MS service in UHL and also previously the deputy head of service for neurology up until August 2023. I am currently working as a Neurologist in Good Hope Hospital in Birmingham, part of the UHB Trust.
