Summary

  • I am an internationally recognized orthopedic sugeon specializing in arthroscopic and minimally invasive knee and shoulder surgery. I have over 200 peer reviewed publications and frequently present my work at national and international meetings.

    I undertook two years of orthopedic sports medicine fellowships at internationally recognized centers of excellence (Royal Orthopedic Hospital UK, and Pan Am Clinic, Canada) prior to starting in practice in 2014. My first five years in practice were based in the UK where I received several major awards (including the King James IV Professorship). I was also featured in the press for my work with high level athletes, notably including an athlete achieving three gold medals at the UK national gymnastics championship after shoulder surgery.

    My work has also received prestigious awards in the USA including from the Arthroscopy Association of North America (Richard O'Connor Award) 2017 and the AANA Traveling Fellowship Award 2021

    Patient-centred care is at the forefront of what I do. My aim is to provide my patients with the best possible care, individualised to their specific needs, with a compassionate, caring and friendly approach
