About me

I am a dedicated shoulder and elbow surgeon treating the full range of shoulder and elbow problems. In the NHS I am based at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, one of London's four major trauma centres. I have a huge amount of major trauma experience from many years in the military.

I’m equally happy performing arthroscopic and open surgery dependent on the needs of the case and my background in semi-professional sport gives me a special insight into the treatment of sports injuries.
