Specialises in
- Carpal tunnel syndrome surgery

I am a substantive Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon based at University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust. I have a sub-specialist interest in both trauma and elective hand and wrist surgery.
My practice at Spire Leicester encompasses the breadth of elective and trauma hand and wrist surgery. I see both adults and children with hand and wrist problems.
I am one of only a select few hand and wrist surgeons in the UK that is dual certified with both the British and European Diplomas in Hand Surgery.
I received my medical degree from the University of Oxford and have since completed my surgical training across the Oxford, London, and Midlands training regions. I am fellowship trained, having completed a post-CCT Senior Clinical Hand Fellow post at the internationally renowned Pulvertaft Hand Centre in Derby. I have also undertaken a competitively awarded British Orthopaedic Association Travelling Fellowship at Ganga Hospital in Coimbatore, India – one of the world's leading ortho-plastic surgical centres.
