BSc, MBBS, MRCP, PhD
Specialises in

- Eczema, psoriasis and acne/ rosacea
- Acute and chronic inflammatory rashes
- Warts, cysts and skin tags
I have been a Consultant Dermatologist at the Royal Free Hospital London for more than 15 years and have been the dermatology lead for skin cancer in the specialist skin cancer department there for over ten years.
As such, I am highly experienced in using mole mapping and dermoscopy to carry out full skin checks and to identify suspicious skin lesions, as well as undertaking diagnostic skin biopsies and excisions. I have specific experience in managing skin cancers in organ transplant and other immune suppressed patients, a patient cohort with a significantly increased risk of skin cancers, which are often multiple, more aggressive and challenging to treat.
I also have significant experience in other areas of general dermatology including eczema, psoriasis and acne/rosacea, as well as managing acute and chronic inflammatory rashes, disorders of pigmentation, and benign skin lesions such as warts, cysts and skin tags.
I take a very patient centred and holistic approach which is evidence-based, ensuring that patients receive comprehensive and compassionate care.
