About me

I am Full/Visiting Professor of Urology at Cleveland Clinic, University of Oxford, and All-India Institute of Medical Sciences; three of the world's best medical institutions:

I lead the Urology service at Cleveland Clinic London, the UK location of the Cleveland Clinic Ranked the No.2 Hospital in the World:

I am one of the top 10 urologists in the UK as voted by my peers when asked who they'd let their nearest and dearest be looked after:

I am also a global leader in prostate cancer care, having trained in robotic prostatectomy in New York, Stockholm, Oxford, and London. I have performed over 1000 prostate cancer surgeries, including hundreds with the novel Retzius-sparing technique which vastly improves continence recovery after surgery; my patient outcomes are far better than the UK average and as good as the best surgeons internationally.

I operate on patients from all over the world. They are overwhelmingly delighted with the care I provide and many are very happy to speak to prospective patients.

I have also featured in the Press for my innovative surgery in advanced prostate cancer, where I am the foremost UK authority & for my Retzius-sparing robotic prostatectomy technique which improves continence recovery almost 10-fold after surgery:

I am the only urologist on the lead team of the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) specialist committee on robotic surgery, and will help NICE create their first ever guidelines on robotic surgery for the NHS.

I am an exam writer for the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in Urology, an exam that is taken by urologists in the UK and worldwide when they complete training.

I am a scorer of the National Clinical Impact Awards awarded to UK consultants who have demonstrated impact on a national/international scale with their work. I was invited to become a scorer as I was one of the top-scoring applicants in my region of London North-East when I applied in 2019; my own National Award was renewed in 2024.

I am also a world-leading academic and have been awarded the degree of Master of Arts (Oxon) and Membership of the Congregation as recognition of my seniority and academic achievements at this world-leading University. I am the only London urologist to be conferred a Masters by resolution of the University of Oxford.
