I have been providing specialist ENT treatment for adults and children as a Consultant for over 20 years. Whilst I treat all general ENT conditions, I have specialised in the treatment of the sinuses, thyroid, parathyroid and skin lesions. I undertook specialist training in Head and Neck surgery at the Royal Marsden Hospital, London, and advanced training in thyroid and parathyroid surgery at the Hammersmith and Charing Cross Hospitals, London.
I am committed to providing the best possible care and outcomes for my patients. I achieve this by listening carefully to my patients concerns and involving them in the decision-making process regarding their treatment. In my surgical practice, I offer minimally invasive and endoscopic surgical techniques, to speed up the post-operative recovery and reduce the time spent in hospital eg.
Balloon Sinuplasty to treat sinusitis. I have been involved with clinical research in the areas of ENT and endocrine surgery and have published extensively in the medical literature. Please go to my website www.
When not at work, I like to relax by watching my 2 sons play sport. Occasionally I am lucky enough to play golf, tennis and ski myself. I hope one day to resurrect my saxophone career!
