If you have noticed a breast lump, changes in breast shape, nipple changes, or any other breast symptoms, please contact Spire South Bank Hospital, Worcester on 01905 362 019 to arrange a specialist breast care appointment.
Early assessment by an experienced Worcester breast consultant is vital for reassurance and achieving the best possible outcomes.
I have been a Consultant Breast Surgeon in Worcester since 2004, specialising in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, benign breast conditions, breast reconstruction following cancer surgery, and improving outcomes after previous breast surgery. My approach to care is holistic, patient‑centred, and focused on both physical and emotional wellbeing.
My Worcestershire‑based practice includes clinics at Spire South Bank Hospital, Worcester, allowing patients to access expert breast care locally.
As a specialist oncoplastic breast surgeon, I introduced oncoplastic breast surgery to Worcestershire. This advanced approach combines high‑quality cancer surgery with modern reconstructive techniques to achieve the best possible cosmetic and functional results. Where appropriate, it enables effective cancer treatment while preserving breast shape and confidence.
I have gained a national reputation for surgical expertise and compassionate care, including recognition as one of the UK’s top breast reconstruction surgeons (Daily Mail) and being a finalist for Best Doctor on BBC One – The One Show. Despite this, my priority remains delivering outstanding breast care for patients in Worcester and surrounding areas.
Alongside clinical work, I am deeply involved in surgical education. I have received a Mentor Award for Teaching from the University of Worcester, serve as a Director for the Association of Breast Surgeons Oncoplastic Surgery Training, and am Module Lead for the MSc in Oncoplastic Surgery at the University of East Anglia. This ensures my patients benefit from the latest evidence‑based techniques and best practice.
In 2009, I launched a campaign to develop a dedicated breast unit for Worcestershire. Through community fundraising, over £1.5 million was raised, leading to the unit’s opening in 2016. Fundraising continues to support individuals affected by breast cancer across the county.
Since 2015, I have also worked in London in cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery, alongside my Worcester practice. Patients value my meticulous, safety‑focused approach, natural results, and honest, caring consultations.
