I am a consultant dermatologist seeing patients at Spire with a wide range of skin, hair and nail conditions. My approach is centred on providing personalised, evidence‑based care, with clear explanations and treatment plans tailored to each individual.
I regularly assess and manage common and complex skin conditions, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea and hidradenitis suppurativa, as well as inflammatory and autoimmune skin diseases. I also see patients with hair and nail disorders and conditions affecting sensitive or genital skin, ensuring assessments are carried out discreetly and with care.
I have extensive experience in the diagnosis and management of skin cancer and non‑cancerous skin lesions. At Spire, I offer a range of dermatological procedures, including skin biopsies, removal of benign and malignant lesions, and treatments for conditions such as warts, cysts and skin tags. I also provide intradermal steroid injections for inflammatory skin and hair conditions and problematic scarring, where appropriate.
In addition to my private practice, I hold senior roles within the NHS, contributing to clinical governance, postgraduate training and assessment within dermatology. I also have a special interest in connective tissue disease‑related skin conditions, such as lupus and dermatomyositis, and see both adult and paediatric patients in my NHS work.
My priority is to deliver thorough, compassionate care and help patients feel informed, reassured and confident in managing their skin health.
