Professional profile

Availability at Spire London East: Every other Monday and Thursday evening, Wednesday morning.

Availability at Spire Hartswood: Monday evenings, Tuesday evenings, Friday mornings.

I am a full time senior NHS consultant and lead urologist for King George and Queen’s Hospital. I specialise in the management of all urological problems such as blood in the urine, urinary infections, prostate disease and urinary symptoms and I have a major surgical interest in the management of kidney stones.

As part of the National Surgical Outcomes Audit I have consistently published some of the best results for complex stone surgery in the UK. I also regularly perform surgery for general urological conditions.

I qualified from the Royal Free Hospital Medical School, London and undertook basic surgical training in London and Oxford. I achieved fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of London in 1999, and both a masters degree in urology and MD from the Institute of Urology at University College London. Having completed higher urological training on the North London Training Scheme I received further advanced training in complex stone surgery and minimally invasive surgery from internationally recognised experts.

I am approved by all major insurance companies and I am supported by a highly professional online practice management team, which enables easy patient access to results and further medical advice by email. I have an interest in urological education and teach London Deanery trainee surgeons at all levels. I also have a research interest in minimally invasive surgical techniques, the basic science of bladder dysfunction and stent design on which I have over fifty publications. I am the co-author of the latest edition of the standard medical student textbook ‘Lecture notes in Urology’ and have been awarded a Hunterian Professorship from the Royal College of Surgeons of England. Patient reviews available at www.iwantgreatcare.org, and www.doctify.co.uk.
