I am a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital, providing specialist care for patients from Cambridge and across the East of England.
I specialise in shoulder and elbow surgery, offering a wide range of treatment options including shoulder arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery, rotator cuff repairs, stabilisation procedures for dislocating shoulders, treatment of shoulder tendonitis, frozen shoulder, shoulder impingement, elbow surgery, upper limb surgery and arthritis.
I treat sports injuries such as tennis and golfer's elbow and moderate arthritis of the elbow. I also treat Dupuytren's contracture of hand, carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger and trigger thumb.
In 2013, Hinchingbrooke Hospital, Huntingdon, I was appointed as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon. I have an elective and emergency practice sub-specialising in shoulder and elbow surgery. My particular interests include open and arthroscopic shoulder surgery for conditions, such as rotator cuff tears, recurrent instability and dislocated acromioclavicular joints. I am experienced and perform all types of shoulder replacement.
I am keen on enhancing medical education. I hold an Associate Fellowship of Higher Education Academy. I am a Senior Clinical Tutor – University of Cambridge, School of Medicine. I am an invited external examiner for Orthopaedic exit exams at College of Surgeons of Sri Lanka. I am an educational and clinical supervisor for Foundation Year (FY) 2 doctors on Cambridge rotation.
