Make an enquiry

I am a highly accomplished and experienced consultant in pain medicine and anaesthesia who specialises in lower back pain, neck pain, pelvic pain, post-operative pain, fibromyalgia and joint pain (shoulder, hip and knee pain). I currently practise at the Spire Thames Valley Hospital.

I notably obtained an MSc in anaesthesia and also possess expertise in sciatica, regional anaesthesia, shoulder pain, frozen shoulder, cancer pain, chronic pain, and radiofrequency intervention, but to mention a few. I successfully undertook intensive and specialist training in chronic pain and anaesthetics at Oxford School of Anaesthesia and my chronic pain training at Guy’s and St Thomas' Hospital in London.

I have, to-date, published a significant amount of peer-reviewed articles in established medical journals, and am actively involved in teaching trainees on a daily basis.

I am working at Frimley NHS trust and am a consultant in chronic pain and anaesthesia. I work regularly at pain clinics and have received great interest in interventional pain procedures. I believe that chronic pain is better managed through a holistic approach, which means managing biological, psychological and social aspects of pain.
