I am a Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon with over 20 years of experience, specialising in foot and ankle conditions. I treat a wide range of problems, from common issues such as ingrown toenails and bunions to complex deformities and sports injuries.
My practice includes keyhole (arthroscopic) and minimally invasive surgery, joint fusion procedures, tendon repairs and transfers, and joint replacement surgery for the ankle and big toe. I regularly perform corrective surgery for flat feet and high arched feet, as well as procedures for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon problems, calf tightness, and chronic compartment syndrome. I treat both adults and adolescents.
I also specialise in complex cases, including severe deformities, diabetic foot conditions, bone infections, and fractures of the foot and ankle. I am trained in advanced techniques such as circular frame surgery and the management of non healing bones.
I have extensive surgical experience, including hundreds of forefoot procedures, complex deformity corrections, fracture fixations, ankle fusions, and joint replacements.
I completed four years of specialist foot and ankle training during my registrar years, followed by a national fellowship at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Birmingham. I have been practicing as a consultant since 2017.
Alongside my clinical work, I am involved in service development and innovation. This includes introducing new surgical techniques and treatments, such as biodegradable skin substitutes for severe infections, and improving trauma pathways through digital tools and surgical checklists to reduce cancellations and improve patient care.

Personal profile
During my free time, I like to spend time with my family and play cricket with my sons. I like to travel to explore new places and enjoy photography. I have also taken up painting, initially in my free time and now as an excellent means of stress relief and hobby. I am very interested in reading about history and geopolitics. I try to get involved in the Essex Indian Community’s cultural events and aspects and try to get my sons involved to try to understand and build a relationship with their roots from India.
