About me

I am a specialist knee surgeon based in Warwickshire. I have held a consultant post at the University Hospital in Coventry since 2005. My practice covers all areas of knee surgery from simple arthroscopy, ligament reconstruction and procedures to slow down progression of arthritis through to various types of knee replacement and revision knee replacement.
I use the Zimmer Nexgen Flex prosthesis for my total knee replacements and I use the Corin Uniglide prosthesis for my uni-compartmental knee replacements.
I am involved in knee research and regularly teach and train other surgeons and give lectures at national + international meetings on knee surgery.
I regularly see patients referred by other specialist knee orthopaedic surgeons for second opinions of complex knee problems.
