I am a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon and specialist knee surgeon practising at Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital. My private practice deals exclusively with knee surgery, including knee arthroscopy, sports knee injuries, soft tissue injury, knee ligament injury treatment, knee osteotomy, sports medicine and the management of knee osteoarthritis. I provide private care for patients across Cambridge and the East of England.

I am exposed to a wide variety of knee conditions every day. My special interests involve undertaking image guided anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. I also specialise in young patient knee replacements using uncemented implants.

My training in orthopaedics was in Oxford and Sydney. I have a Master of Surgery thesis in osteoarthritis. My undergraduate training was in Cambridge with clinical training in London.

Alongside my clinical practice, I hold several professional and academic leadership roles, including Fellow in medicine at the University of Cambridge, Medical Advisory Committee at Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital, Senior Demonstrator in Anatomy at the University of Cambridge and Surgical Tutor for the Royal College of Surgeons.
