I am a experienced Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon with a specialist interest in foot and ankle surgery. Providing surgical consultations, injections, shockwave therapy, and operations for patients with foot and ankle disorders at Spire Yale and Spire Abergele Hospitals.

I am committed to providing high quality care to patients and am happy to hold virtual as well as face-to-face consultations according to my patient's needs.

I previously worked at Mid-Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in the same clinical role with the additional responsibility of being the Associate Medical Director for Surgery & Cancer.

I have completed my orthopaedic training at Wirral University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, where I received advanced training in the management of complex elective, revision, and trauma foot and ankle conditions.

Prior to this, I underwent 6 years of specialist orthopaedic training in the Mersey Deanery, after graduating with Honours from The University of Liverpool School of Medicine in 2003.
