I am a highly skilled consultant surgeon specialized in Bariatric, Upper Gastrointestinal (UGI), and General Surgery. With over 10 years of experience. I perform over 300 procedures annually, the vast majority of which are performed using minimally invasive (laparoscopic) techniques. My practice is dedicated to delivering the highest surgical standards through a patient-focused and compassionate approach. During my practice l gained excellent experience in anti-reflux surgery and laparoscopic hernias repair, inguinal and abdominal wall, alongside my core specializations in Metabolic and Bariatric surgery and Gall Bladders. By maintaining a high-volume practice focused on minimally invasive methods, I ensure my patients benefit from refined technical precision, less discomfort, and a faster return to their daily lives.

Within my high-volume practice, I perform a comprehensive range of metabolic and bariatric procedures, including laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB).
