About

I am a Consultant Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) surgeon with over 24 years of experience. I treat a wide range of ear, nose, and throat conditions in both adults and children.

I am known for my clear communication, careful approach, and high level of patient care. I aim to make sure you feel informed, supported, and confident in your treatment.

My private practice is supported by my wife, Helen, who is also my secretary. She provides prompt and personal communication to help make your experience smooth and stress-free. I consistently receive excellent patient feedback—many of which can be viewed on my testimonial page at www.entsurgery.net.

My experience and training

I was appointed as a Consultant ENT Surgeon in 2005 at the Countess of Chester Hospital.
I trained in Manchester and across several hospitals in the North West of England. After 14 years as an NHS consultant, I moved fully into private practice in 2019. This allows me to offer more personalised and responsive care.


Professional Background & Previous Roles

I have held several senior roles during my career, including:
  • Clinical Lead for ENT, Countess of Chester Hospital
  • Educational Supervisor for ENT Trainees, Countess of Chester Hospital
  • Member, STEC Training Committee, Health Education North West
  • Honorary Lecturer, Liverpool Medical School
  • ENT Medical Advisory Committee Representative, Grosvenor Nuffield Hospital, Chester

These roles reflect my commitment to improving patient care and training future specialists.
