I am a Consultant Colorectal and Laparoscopic Surgeon with a specialist interest in keyhole (minimally invasive) surgery for both benign and cancerous conditions affecting the bowel. My focus is on providing effective, modern treatments that support quicker recovery and the best possible outcomes for my patients.

I trained in India before moving to the UK, where I completed my surgical training in South Wales, Birmingham and Liverpool. I then spent time in Australia developing advanced skills in laparoscopic surgery before returning to the North West to take up my consultant role.

Since then, I’ve established a comprehensive keyhole surgery service, treating conditions of the small bowel, colon and rectum. I perform a high volume of procedures each year, including bowel cancer surgery and gallbladder removal, and have a strong interest in techniques that reduce recovery time and improve patient experience.

I also offer specialist procedures for conditions such as haemorrhoids and anal fistula, including minimally invasive approaches like THD, VAAFT and EPSiT.

Alongside my clinical work, I am the Lead Clinician for colorectal cancer services at my NHS Trust and am actively involved in teaching and training the next generation of surgeons.

My approach is centred on clear communication, personalised care and helping patients feel confident and supported throughout their treatment.
