I see patients with benign breast problems and breast cancer in my one-stop breast clinic at Spire Harpenden which involves a consultation as well as all the necessary investigations such as mammograms, ultrasound and needle biopsies performed in one visit. The results of the mammogram and ultrasound are available to the patient immediately and biopsy results are available in a few days.

I perform benign breast surgery and breast cancer surgery including immediate breast reconstructions.

I also see patients with thyroid lumps and parathyroid disease. I perform surgery for benign thyroid problems such as thyrotoxicosis (over-active thyroid) and thyroid cancer. I am also an experienced parathyroid surgeon and I submit my thyroid and parathyroid surgical results to the national audit by British Association of Endocrine and Thyroid Surgeons.

I also see patients with hernias and other general surgical problems. I do not perform keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery.
