I am the lead clinician for several hospitals in the Berkshire and London areas. I have years of experience at consultant level following my extensive training in the field of Maxillofacial Surgery and Oral Surgery. I qualified in Dentistry in 1992, following which I also undertook a period of focused research and was awarded a Masters Degree in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (MDS). I also have a Medical (MBBS) degree from King's Collage, London which makes me unique like a limited number of other colleagues nationally who are both Dentally and Medically qualified.
