About

I'm a Consultant Plastic Surgeon at The Manor Hospital, Oxford and at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

My skillsets include breast reconstruction, aesthetic surgery, hand surgery and skin cancer surgery.

Education

I graduated from the University of Edinburgh with final year distinctions and completed my higher surgical training in Scotland.

I undertook a Masters in Surgical Sciences with the University of Edinburgh, obtaining my postgraduate degree with Distinctions.

I completed three prestigious subspecialty fellowships: a Cosmetic TIG fellowship in Guildford, a Hand TIG Fellowship in Oxford, and a breast microsurgical fellowship in Chelmsford, UK.

Approach to patient care

I'm a compassionate surgeon and I pride myself in placing my patients’ wellbeing above everything else.

I believe that each patient’s journey is unique, and my approach is rooted in empathy and meticulous attention to their individual needs.
