About me

I specialise in lower limb orthopaedics, sports injuries and trauma.
In particular I look after patients suffering from osteoarthritis of the knee and hip, patients who have sustained sports injuries to their hips, knees or ankles, and those that have suffered fractures of the upper or lower limbs.
I have a Sports Injuries clinic at Rehab & Recover, Hull, and a consultation and injection clinic at Optima Clinic, Cottingham. I am cheif medical officer at a Rugby League club (Hull FC) and a club doctor at my local rugby club (Hull Ionians RUFC). I also am the medic for Yorkshire Counties Senior Men's XV. In 2023 I took on the role of medical consultant to Hull City Ladies Football Team.
Bi-monthly I demonstrate UKR and navigated TKR to other consultants as an expert learning visitation centre at Goole or Spire Hull.
I also offer diagnostic ultrasound and ultrasound guided injections for musculo-skeletal conditions such as tendinopathies, tendon and muscle injuries, and ganglions.
