I am a Consultant Physician and Rheumatologist with specialist accreditation in General Medicine and Rheumatology. I am Honorary Consultant Physician at Epsom General Hospital, Surrey and see private patients at the hospitals listed on this website.

I treat all aspects of rheumatology and general medicine, in particular rheumatoid arthritis, including dietary aspects, osteoporosis, gout, ankylosing spondylitis, hyperlipidaemia and bereavement counselling.

I graduated from Charing Cross Hospital Medical School, London University and received my Doctorate from the University of London. I qualified in medicine from the University of London, from where I was also awarded an MD for a thesis on lipid and purine metabolism. I was awarded the Charing Cross Hospital’s Trustees’ Research Fellowship, the Michael Mason Medal for my work on ultrasound in Rheumatology, and a Private Patients’ Plan Research Fellowship at Jesus College, Cambridge.

I am also Clinical Lead for sponsoring medical research.
