About me

I am a Mersey trained Urologist with a special interest in renal stone disease. I am trained in all aspects of urology including female urinary incontinence, uro-oncology, especially prostrate and renal cancer.

I underwent a sub-speciality fellowship training in endo-urology and stones at Belfast, specialising in modern, minimally invasive and endoscopic treatment of renal stone disease. I can perform many of these procedures as day case operations with excellent success.

I had the opportunity to spend time at the Henry Ford Institute, Detroit, United States and at Elizabethenin H, Linz, Austria, as a fellow, to learn about latest and modern techniques in the management of prostate cancer.

I underwent a fully accredited training in General Surgery, Urology and Renal transplantation in India before coming to the UK in 1998. In the UK I underwent further specialist training and passed the intercollegiate board of examination for specialist urology training in 2007 I was appointed as a consultant at Warrington and Halton Hospitals in June 2008.
