Professional profile

Availability at Spire Hartswood: Wednesday afternoons.

I practice at Spire Hartswood Hospital, Brentwood, Essex and Spire London East Hospital, Redbridge, Essex. I have a wide experience of over 30 years in surgical conditions and practice according to the latest guidelines to ensure that my patients get the best that is available.

I specialise in General Vascular and Colorectal surgery. I am particularly interested in the treatment of varicose veins (including laser surgery) and treatment of anal conditions (piles, fissure, fistula etc.). I also perform the THD procedure for Haemorrhoids.

In over 20 years of Practice as an NHS consultant, I have performed an enormous amount of surgeries for general, vascular and colorectal conditions.

I have previously been Surgical Tutor for the Royal College of Surgeons, Clinical Director of surgery and Associate Medical Director. I am currently the surgical representative for the medical advisory committee at Spire Hartswood Hospital.

I have published two books on surgery and written numerous papers in peer reviewed journals.
