About me

I am an Orthopaedic and Spinal Surgeon with an active NHS and private practice. I have the UK qualifications of FRCS and FRCS (Orth). I am enrolled on the GMC Specialist Register. I am Fellowship trained in Spinal Surgery.

Although my NHS practice still includes General Orthopaedics and Spine Surgery, my Independent sector practice is now mainly focused on Spines as driven by demand and interest.

I am a member of the following associations and societies:
British Orthopaedic Association (BOA)
British Association of Spinal Surgeons (BASS)
BritSpine
American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS)
North American Spine Society (NASS)
British Medical Association (BMA)

I have been involved in NHS medical management as a Clinical Director of Orthopaedics for a period of about 8 years.

I actively participate in the West Midland Regional Spinal Network and related MDT activities. I attend international medical conferences in my areas of special interest.

Outside of medicine, I spend time with my wife, four daughters, son and grandchildren. I play chess and listen to country music. I am also in involved in the dissemination of healthcare information in Africa.

My practice objective is to help people with back pain, sciatica or hip or knee joint problems return to their usual activities of daily living, work or recreation as soon as possible using the most appropriate methods be it non-operative, spinal injections or a spinal operation.

Areas of interest

I treat patients with back pain, sciatica or spinal claudication using conservative measures, spinal injections, and neurosurgical or orthopaedic procedures as appropriate for each individual case. I operate only on adults but may provide advice to parents with regardto yonger patients with back problems.

I treat patients with coccygeal pain with conservative measures, manipulation under anaesthesia and various types of injections a appropriate. In recalcitrant cases I sometimes offer the operation of coccygectomy to remove the offending coccyx.

Although my NHS practice still includes General Orthopaedics and Spine Surgery, my Independent sector practice is now mainly focused on Spines as driven by demand and interest. I still offer advise to patients who come to me based on my historic practice of hip and knee surgery but would refer them on to appropriate colleagues if hip or knee surgery or specialised advice in those areas are required.
