About

I've lived and worked in the South West since qualifying from St Bartholomew’s and The Royal London Hospitals in 2002. 

I began my career as a Medical Officer in the Royal Navy, where I completed the Commando Course so I could work closely alongside the Royal Marines. During this time, I served on active duty in Afghanistan.

After leaving the Navy, I continued my surgical training in the South West. I went on to qualify as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, specialising in knee surgery. I've also completed internationally recognised specialist knee fellowship training in Coventry and Exeter.

I have a particular interest in sports-related knee injuries, ligament reconstruction, patellofemoral instability, joint preservation, and knee replacement surgery.

Special interests

  • Knee surgery 
  • Soft tissue ligament reconstruction
  • Sports injuries of the knee
  • Arthroscopic surgery of the knee
  • Joint replacement, total and partial
  • Joint preservation surgery, osteotomy and chondral regeneration.

Personal interests

I have three children who all enjoy outdoor activities. I'm a keen swimmer and runner and enjoy competing in endurance events.
