I have been a consultant general and upper gastro-intestinal surgeon for the past four years, following six years of higher surgical training in the London/ KSS deanery. I am trained in emergency surgery, routine and complex general and upper gastro-intestinal surgery, routine diagnostic and advanced endoscopy.

I am a specialist general surgeon with enhanced interest in oesophago-gastric and biliary disease; this includes hiatal hernia surgery, gallbladder surgery and diagnostic upper GI endoscopy. I have a specific interest in advanced endoscopy including endoscopic ultra-sound and ERCP. I also offer surgery for groin and abdominal wall hernia.

Annually I perform around 300 operations, most of which are elective procedures: 80-100 laparoscopic cholecystectomy, 60-80 hernia repair, 10-20 complex upper GI procedures (giant hiatus hernia repair, anti-reflux surgery, feeding jejunostomy), 10-20 other laparoscopic procedures eg cancer staging). I perform 100+ emergency operations including commonly: laparotomy for small and large bowel obstruction, peritonitis, hot cholecystectomy, appendicectomy, amongst others.

I perform between 750-800 diagnostic upper GI endoscopy a year (OGD), around 150 endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCPs) and 50 endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) scans annually.

I am the surgical tutor and junior doctors leave and rota facilitator at Frimley Park Hospital. I am a faculty and committee member of the Local Education Board and regional contributing member of The Royal College of Surgeons of England.

I am the local clinical representative to the regional Oesophago-Gastric and Hepato-Pancreatico-Biliary MDT.

I am driven by excellence and have received many awards during my surgical training and professional career eg People's Choice Prize, poster competition – Frimley Health (2018), First Place Resident/Fellows Presentation Competition, SAGES, USA (2011), EAES Award for Best Video Presentation, Geneva Convention (2010), The John Farndon Research Prize – Surgical Club of South West England (2009), The David Dunn Medal, ALSGBI Annual Scientific Meeting, Newcastle (2007), Merit for Leadership Project, Junior Chamber International, Mauritius (2002).
