I am a Consultant General Surgeon with comprehensive training in both benign and malignant upper gastrointestinal surgery (open and laparoscopic), hernia surgery (open and laparoscopic) and obesity surgery.

I also offer anti-reflux surgery, lap-assisted Ivor Lewis oesophagostomy, laparoscopic hiatus hernia repair, laparoscopic/open gastrectomy and treat upper gastrointestinal cancers.

After completing the Basic Surgical Training in the East Midlands, I was involved in a two year research project at The University of Nottingham and was awarded a DM degree from the same university. My higher surgical training was at the East of England Deanery.

I have been trained at five regional oesophageal and gastric cancer units, including Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge and two regional bariatric units in the UK. This training helped me obtain the certificate of completion of training (CCT) as well as the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of England (FRCS).

In 2016 I was appointed as a Consultant General, Upper GI and Bariatric Surgeon at Luton and Dunstable University Hospital.

I perform all oesophageal and gastric cancer operations at The Regional Centre at Watford General Hospital and a full range of general and bariatric surgery at The Regional Bariatric Unit at Luton and Dunstable University Hospital.
