I am a Consultant General Surgeon. My NHS practice involves working as part of a team of surgeons and oncologists treating approximately 120 new colorectal cancers every year.

In my private practice I offer services including coloproctology, endoscopy and minimal access surgery.

I offer advice on a wide range of abdominal problems including bowel disorders and hernias, diagnostic and screening colonoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy for patients with suspected colorectal cancer and gastroscopy. I perform about 200 hernia operations, 100 haemorrhoid operations and 100 colonoscopies per year.

I qualified in 1981 following undergraduate training at Cambridge University and the Middlesex Hospital, London, and gained much of my surgical experience at the Royal Free Hospital, London. In 1992 I was awarded the degree of Master of Surgery from Cambridge University for my thesis on the treatment of liver tumours.
