Professional profile

I am a consultant vascular and endovascular surgeon at Nottingham University Hospitals. I specialise in the treatment of vascular conditions including keyhole venous closure techniques for varicose veins. I have over 18 years’ experience in varicose veins surgery and treat around 20 patients every month.

I also treat patients with abdominal aneurysms, blocked carotid arteries, peripheral vascular disease and hyperhidrosis (sweaty armpits) both in the NHS and private practice.

I graduated from the University of Lagos, Nigeria in 1989 and undertook my training in vascular surgery and complex endovascular aneurysm repair in Nottingham.

I have been working as a consultant vascular surgeon in Nottingham since 2006. I developed and lead the complex endovascular aneurysm repair programme in Nottingham.

Actively involved in education and teaching, I taught vascular surgery in the UK, Africa and Singapore and am responsible for organizing the Cadaveric Vascular Training workshops at Nottingham University Hospitals.

I have a Master’s degree in law and have a special interest in clinical governance and risk management.

Clinical Interests

Vascular surgery

My clinical interests include varicose vein surgery (VNUS closure, foam sclerotherapy, thread veins), endovascular aneurysm repair and the treatment of hyperhidrosis (sweaty armpits). I am skilled in the latest minimally invasive techniques, including keyhole varicose vein surgery and endovascular aneurysm repair.
