About me

After graduating from St Georges Hospital Medical School, London, in 1998 I completed my Basic Surgical Training and gained Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. I undertook a 2 year period of research into Advanced Bearings in hip replacements at University College London under the mentorship of Professor Haddad. Having subsequently completed my Specialist Training in Trauma & Orthopaedics and gained my Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons (Trauma & Orthopaedics) on the prestigious Royal London Specialist Registrar Training Rotation in 2011, I then completed a fellowship in Complex Primary and Revision Hip Arthroplasty at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital. I was awarded the competitive Travelling Fellowship from the British Hip Society in February 2012 and used this opportunity to further my understanding and experience in Primary and Revision Hip Arthroplasty Surgery at the Charite Hospital in Berlin under the mentorship of Professor Perka.

My areas of sub-specialist interests are in Primary Hip and Knee arthroplasty, Complex Primary and Revision Hip Arthroplasty, Periprosthetic hip fractures and Hip Arthroscopy.

I am actively engaged in the Enhanced Recovery Program for my Hip and Knee replacement patients and strive to develop this further to improve the outcomes for all of my joint replacements.

In 2014 I developed the hip arthroscopy service for the Colchester region allowing our local population to be treated nearer to home and have brought my expertise in this area to the Oaks Hospital for my insured patients. I continue to expand the techniques available for my patients to get them on the road to recovery as soon as possible.
