About
I come from a Yorkshire family but spent a number of years in the south of England. I was at school in Amersham, Buckinghamshire and undertook medical training in Oxford. I turned north to begin higher surgical training as a registrar based in Leeds, including two years of vascular surgical research. I made scientific presentations and gave lectures in Britain, Europe and North and South America.
I moved to York in 1995 as a consultant general and vascular surgeon. Subsequently, my practice changed to full-time vascular surgery and I now work as a full-time varicose vein specialist, with specialist clinics and operating lists in York, Harrogate and Teeside.
Special interests
I am very happy to provide a full range of treatments for varicose veins and thread veins. I introduced modern, minimally-invasive varicose vein treatment to York in 2004 and radio frequency ablation (VNUS) is now the mainstay procedure. I regularly undertake injection treatment (sclerotherapy) for both varicose veins and thread veins.
My other interest is the assessment of actual or possible peripheral vascular disease. I am very pleased to see patients whose symptoms or whose Doppler test has suggested reduced circulation to the legs.

Personal interests
My main hobby is classic car and motorbike restoration. I also enjoy building restoration. I have ongoing projects in all these.
I am very keen on working outside on gardening and landscaping, again with ongoing projects, depending on the season.
When indoors, I enjoy cooking but also eating out. My reading is largely the works of Shakespeare, classic novels and non-fiction historical texts. I go to the theatre as much as possible, mainly but not exclusively to see the works of Shakespeare.
My sporting interests are tennis, skiing and motorsport. I do not take part in the latter!
