About
I am an experienced physician with UK certification in Respiratory Medicine (Pulmonology) and General Internal Medicine, looking after all aspects of lung disease. My areas of interest include lung cancer, lung nodules, respiratory infection, bronchiectasis, asthma, COPD and unexplained breathlessness.
I trained in Oxford and across West London, so I am very familiar with the healthcare landscape in this area. After completing my training, I spent four years in research at Imperial College before returning to full-time NHS work at St Mary's Hospital, part of the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.
I pride myself on being a clear and honest communicator, always striving to give my patients excellent care through shared decision-making. I'm a strong believer in the importance of listening and kindness in healthcare. I also play an active role in the education and training of junior doctors and medical students.
