Professional profile

I am an experienced Consultant Dermatologist and Dermatological Surgeon. I see all aspects of general (including acne, rosacea, psoriasis, eczema), surgical and cosmetic dermatology. My specialist interests include advanced skin surgery (including facial surgery), skin cancer treatments (surgical and non-surgical), photodynamic therapy, hyperhidrosis, laser surgery and disorders of pigmentation.

I graduated from Trinity College, University of Cambridge, with a Double First in pre-clinical medicine before completing clinical studies at Christ Church, University of Oxford. After general medical training in several of London’s leading teaching hospitals, I undertook dermatology training in Manchester. I am one of very few dermatologists to have achieved both Membership of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP) and Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons (MRCS).

I then completed a highly competitive advanced dermatological surgery fellowship (including Mohs micrographic surgery and laser dermatology) in the world-renowned St Johns Institute of Dermatology based in Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospitals, London, where I continue to work as a Mohs micrographic and laser surgeon. I was subsequently awarded the British Cosmetic Dermatology fellowship to study skin pigmentation disorders in the National Skin Centre, Singapore.

I have wide-ranging research experience with a PhD from the University of Cambridge and over 120 scientific and medical publications. This includes articles in Nature, Science, BMJ, The Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine. I have been awarded multiple prizes and scholarships throughout my career and was recently recognised as one of the lead consultants in the prestigious BMJ Dermatology Team of the Year in Vernova Healthcare, Macclesfield.
