I am a Consultant Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon at Spire Norwich Hospital seeing patients from the Norfolk area in my private practice. I specialise in the management of oral and maxillofacial disorders undertaking head, neck and oral surgery. I also manage general oral and maxillofacial disorders which includes jaw cyst removal, wisdom teeth removal and salivary gland disease.
I have a particular interest in head and neck oncology and am the lead oral and maxillofacial surgeon in oncology based at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.
I studied dentistry at Guys Hospital, London where I subsequently worked as an oral surgeon prior to studying medicine at Leicester University Medical School. My higher surgical training was completed in the South Thames Rotation, including Guildford, Kings, Guys, St Thomas's and finally Brighton & Eastbourne Hospitals.
I normally see new patients on Friday mornings though other appointment times can be arranged.
