I am a consultant hand and wrist surgeon at Spire Leeds and at Leeds General Infirmary. I have worked as a specialist consultant surgeon since 2002, treating conditions affecting the hand and wrist.

I offer a comprehensive range of treatment for conditions affecting the hand and the wrist. I am able to provide an experienced specialist opinion and subsequent management, including those conditions that are not considered straight forward.

In addition to managing the local population, I provide a service for the management of complex conditions which are referred from other surgeons throughout the region. I am routinely asked by my colleagues in the surrounding hospitals to provide my opinion and to take over the management of difficult and complex cases.
