I am a Consultant Orthopaedic Spinal Surgeon. My prime interests are spinal deformity, back pain, tumours, fractures, infection and degenerative disease of the spine in both children and adults.
Both operative and non-operative treatment modalities are offered, with treatment being individualised to each patient.
I practice in both Bristol NHS Trusts as well as Weston Super Mare. I obtained a first class honours degree at Worcester College, Oxford and continued my basic orthopaedic training there. My specialist spinal training was in Oxford, The Institute Calot (France) and Seattle (USA).
