I graduated from St Thomas’ Hospital Medical School in 1992 and completed surgical training in London, Guildford, Oxford and Dublin. I travelled on Fellowship to Dublin and have also worked overseas in South Africa and at the Universities of Johns Hopkins and Maryland, Baltimore, USA.

 

I have been a Consultant since 2003 and treat patients of all ages except infants.

 

As an orthopaedic and trauma surgeon I specialise in the treatment of broken bones, sprains, tendon problems and sports injuries in adults and in children. Early rehabilitation and return to function is my philosophy. Far too many injuries are “wrapped up” in A&E with a frustrating and unnecessarily long recovery as a result. Do you need a cast, or would a splint be better? Most injuries heal faster if you mobilise promptly.

 

I have a special interest in foot and ankle problems. These include sports injuries, foot pain, ankle pain and heel pain. Whether the problem is from tendons, lumps and bumps (such as bunions), arthritis, toe problems or changing foot shapes, a precise diagnosis and treatment plan is essential.

My special interests are in arthroscopic surgery, forefoot surgery, rheumatoid arthritis, sports injuries and heel pain. I run a “One Stop” Clinic for Achilles tendon and plantar fasciitis problems.

 

I have published over 50 scientific articles on foot and ankle surgery and maintain an active research interest. As part of the Cartiva Motion Study Group I have contributed to Award Winning research into new treatments for arthritis in the big toe. I am Visiting Professor at London South Bank University and Honorary Lecturer at the University of Surrey. I am also Program Director for surgical training.
