I have been a Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in Hand, Wrist and Elbow trauma and elective conditions since 2017. I pride myself on feedback I have received from my patients being grateful for the time I take in explaining their clinical presentation, and investigations in detail so that they understand their condition and ongoing treatments well.
I specialise in conditions of the hand, wrist and elbow. I offer both operative and non-operative treatments aimed primarily in optimising function. I carry out nerve related surgeries such a carpal, cubital and Guyon canal release as well as denervation surgery to treat wrist pain. For arthritis I can advise on splints and injections,and surgery such as trapeziectomy and joint replacements including thumb base replacement surgery. I also treat tendon conditions such as Tennis/Golfer's elbow, and tendinitis around the wrist and hand e.g trigger finger. I have vast experience in treating fractures of the hand, wrist and elbow.
I have been a T&O Consultant for nearly ten years but I have over 20 years of experience in Trauma and Orthopaedics. I completed my medical degree at the University of Queensland in Australia, but then shortly after moved the the United Kingdom I carried out my Basic Surgical Training at St Georges University Hospital, Tooting, and completed my Higher Surgical Training in the renowned South West London training rotation. I completed the distinguished Chelsea and Westminster Orthopaedic Hand fellowship before being appointed a Consultant at Surrey and Sussex NHS Trust. During this period I also completed a Masters in Musculoskeletal Medicine, with distinction, from University College London, further cementing my knowledge and understanding of musculoskeletal diagnoses. I perform over 400 operations a year including open, minimally invasive and arthroscopic surgeries of the hand, wrist and elbow.
I am a Clinical and Educational supervisor for all grades of junior doctors. I am involved in training and supervising newly qualified doctors all the way to higher speciality trainees - on their path to becoming Orthopaedic Surgeons. I lecture to Brighton Medical School students on Orthopaedics and regularly have UK and international medical students attached to my team. I have many publications in acclaimed medical journals and have presented this work in National and International meetings.
