About
I have been an NHS Consultant at St George’s Hospital in South London from 2005-23. It is Europe’s largest teaching hospital where I helped train the country’s next generation of Plastic Surgeons.
I was the lead hand surgeon from 2018-21.
I was on the committee of the world-recognised Instructional Hand Course 2018-23.
I was an examiner for the Intercollegiate Examination Board in Plastic Surgery (FRCS Plast) 2012-22.
I graduated from University College Hospital, London in 1992 and gained my FRCS (Plast) having worked in East Grinstead, the Welsh Plastic Surgery Centre and The Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle. In 2004, I spent a year in the world-renowned Louisville Hand Centre in the USA, as a Fellow.
I have been trained in cosmetic surgery such as breast reshaping, tummy tuck surgery, upper eyelid tightening, and prominent ear correction.
My other interests are skin cancer treatment with reconstruction and removal of moles, cysts and other skin lumps.
