Specialises in
I work in partnership with Mr Mohsin Dani and together we provide the highest quality of breast care. We ensure all of our patients are seen within 24 hours in a one-stop breast clinic.
I am among one of the first ten Breast Surgeons to be certified in cosmetic breast surgery under the Royal College of Surgeons of England scheme and I take pride in being educational supervisor for higher surgical trainees in teaching and training them in cosmetic as well as constructive procedures. Mr Mohsin Dani and I work together to bring the advanced technique of breast conservative surgery using local perforator flap surgery. In recognition of our exemplary work we won the best oncoplastic and aesthetic breast surgeons in England award.
I am a fully accredited Breast and Oncoplastic Surgeon and I am on the GMC specialist register. I completed my higher surgical training in South West London deanery and worked in the Royal Marsden Hospital for my higher surgical training followed by locum consultant breast surgeon. I was certified as best student in August 1997 and awarded a gold medal for final examination of the diplomatic national board. I lead Breast Cancer Kent (TSSG) Chair and am responsible for providing guidelines and maintaining the high standard of care across Kent.
I have published as first or senior author in journals on clinical management of breast cancer and techniques. I am a dedicated breast surgeon who takes special interest in teaching various oncoplastic procedures for breast conservation and avoid mastectomy in selected patients with breast cancer.
