I am a Consultant Plastic Surgeon based in Cambridge, practising privately at Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital. I provide assessment and treatment for a wide range of plastic and reconstructive conditions. My approach is centred on careful assessment, clear explanation of treatment options and delivering high‑quality, patient‑focused care in a calm and supportive environment.
My clinical practice covers reconstructive surgery, skin cancer surgery, hand and upper limb injuries alongside cosmetic procedures. I regularly treat patients with hand and wrist problems such as carpal tunnel syndrome, Dupuytren’s disease, arthritis, nerve compression and traumatic injuries.
I have been a consultant at Addenbrooke’s Hospital Cambridge since 2005. Here I treat patients needing reconstructive surgery for major trauma, skin cancer (as part of the MDT) and hand / upper limb injury.
In my private practice, I also provide cosmetic surgery, including breast surgery, abdominoplasty, arm reduction, arm lift, vaginal reshaping and ear pinning.
I undertook my medical training at Oxford University and qualified in 1991. Following this, I completed specialist training in plastic surgery at hospitals across the UK and internationally, including Salisbury, East Grinstead, London, Cambridge, Leeds and Melbourne, Australia. I was awarded a Doctorate in Medicine for research into wound healing and scarring and later achieved the European Diploma in Hand Surgery. My additional fellowship‑level training includes hand surgery, microsurgery, peripheral nerve surgery and aesthetic surgery.
Alongside my clinical work, I am actively involved in education and professional development. I have previously served as Clinical Director of Plastic Surgery at Addenbrooke’s Hospital and have been a training programme director for foundation doctors. I hold an honorary academic role with the University of Cambridge and regularly teach plastic surgery trainees, hand surgery fellows and medical students. I also publish scientific research, contribute to peer‑reviewed journals and sit on the editorial committee of the European Journal of Hand Surgery.
I am a full member of the British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons, the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons and the British Society for Surgery of the Hand. I am also listed by the Royal College of Surgeons of England as a Certified Cosmetic Surgeon. My private practice at Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital offers patients in Cambridge and the surrounding areas access to modern facilities and timely specialist care.
