Professional profile

I offer Laparoscopic General, Upper GI & Weight Loss Surgery at Spire Hartswood Hospital.

My specialty is keyhole surgery for hernias, gallstones, heartburn, cancer of the oesophagus (gullet) and stomach and weight loss surgery. I also perform a number of novel endoscopic techniques to treat early cancer and pre-cancerous conditions.

I was admitted to one of the top medical schools of India, Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute with high merit. Following my graduation, I moved to the United Kingdom for surgical training. I then obtained Membership & Fellowship of The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and obtained a post-doctoral qualification from research performed at University of Oxford. Following my doctoral research at Oxford University, I completed All Wales Higher Surgical Training Programme. I gained advanced experience doing focused fellowships at world-renowned centres of excellence. I was a Senior Laparoscopic Fellow at ICENI Centre, Colchester (for keyhole surgery). Following this I spent a year at the St James University Hospital, Leeds (for cancer surgery). I then completed coveted and much sought after Ethicon Bariatric Fellowship at Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton (for weight loss surgery).

Personal Profile

I play badminton regularly and have started playing cricket for a local club after an 8 year gap (very rusty). I love long distance running and have completed two 10K races, both completed in under an hour, simultaneously raising money for Macmillan.  I am one of the lead surgeons in a charity ‘Out to Africa’. I travel out to Zambia to teach / spread my passion of keyhole surgery to young and budding surgeons in Zambia.  Above all, I love spending time with my family, especially my 7 year old son, who loves running and swimming. I am looking forward to a 3K run together with him.

For me, nothing beats an evening in watching a movie with my family. I also enjoy listening to a variety of music including Jazz, Bollywood and Indian Classical when they fall asleep!
