In 2009 he completed two subspecialist fellowships in Australia – a knee fellowship at the North Sydney Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Centre and a shoulder fellowship at the Perth Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Centre. He started at Kingston Hospital as a consultant orthopaedic surgeon in October 2010 with a special interest in knee and shoulder surgery.
