Virtual consultations:
I am an experienced orthopaedic surgeon specialising in shoulder and upper limb surgery, and I have been practising at Spire Hull and East Riding Hospital since 2005. My focus is on delivering high-quality, patient-centred care.
My specialist interests include shoulder surgery, complex arthroscopic (keyhole) procedures, shoulder and elbow replacement, sports-related injuries, and wrist and hand surgery. I completed six years of orthopaedic training, including a year of dedicated research at Leicester University Hospitals. I then undertook advanced fellowships at a leading shoulder and upper limb centre in Perth, Western Australia, and the internationally renowned Wrightington Hospital in the UK.
I am committed to ongoing education and innovation, and I have worked to bring advanced shoulder and upper limb techniques to patients across Hull and East Yorkshire.
I offer assessment and treatment for a wide range of upper limb conditions, including carpal tunnel syndrome, Dupuytren’s contracture, ganglion cysts and trigger finger. I provide expert care for shoulder conditions such as rotator cuff tears, shoulder impingement, instability and dislocation, frozen shoulder, biceps tendon rupture and shoulder joint damage, as well as carrying out shoulder arthroscopy and shoulder replacement surgery where needed. I also treat elbow problems including bursitis, tendonitis and tennis or golfer’s elbow, alongside wrist conditions requiring arthroscopy or joint replacement.
My clinical practice covers shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand surgery, with a focus on minimally invasive techniques where possible, ensuring effective treatment and a smoother recovery tailored to your individual needs.
