I perform over 500 surgical/laser procedures each year.

I am also the author of two ophthalmology texts, 'Common eye diseases and their management' (third edition) and 'MCQ companion to the eye: basic sciences in practice'.

Consultant ophthalmologist, Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust

 

I am based at St James's University Hospital, Leeds where I am one of the glaucoma specialists. My practice there is divided between managing glaucoma and cataracts. I see private patients at Spire Leeds Hospital on Wednesdays between 9.30am and 11am and Fridays between 3pm and 6pm.

I enjoy outdoor pursuits including golf and skiing, but spend most of my free time relaxing at home with my wife and two children.
