I graduated from London University (Barts) and completed general surgical and ENT training in the London region followed by higher subspecialty ENT training at Charing Cross, The Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear and Great Ormond Street Hospitals.

In addition I have undertaken advanced subspecialty training abroad in Rhinology and Facial Plastic Surgery (U.S.A., Denmark, Switzerland) and Otology (The House Ear Institute, LA).

As a result, although a General Ear, Nose and Throat Surgeon, I have particular subspecialty interests in Rhinology (endoscopic sinus surgery, septal surgery, allergy, septorhinoplasty, snoring, nasal polyps, nose bleeds), Facial Plastic Surgery (cosmetic rhinoplasty, pinnaplasty/bat ears correction), Paediatric Ear, Nose and Throat disorders and Otology (ear infections, ear drum perforations, hearing and dizziness).

I have published and presented extensively (over 30 papers), was a member of the Surgical Training Committee (London Deanery) and have been a faculty member and lecturer at courses and meetings at national and international level. I have won several prestigious awards (in particular, best otology presentation at The Royal Society of Medicine 2002, The RCSEng travelling Fellowship 2003 and The European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery Fellowship 2004 enabling visits to centres of excellence in the U.S.A and Europe respectively).
