About me
I am a Consultant Ophthalmologist, specialising in Oculoplastic, Orbital & Lacrimal Surgery in private practice, having resigned from my NHS post in August 2014.
My clinical work as an ophthalmologist is entirely of a subspecialist nature for which I have a national & international reputation. I receive referrals for patients with oculoplastic, orbital disorders and lacrimal (watering eye) disorders from all over the U.K. and from abroad. In addition to my reconstructive surgery and surgery to manage a variety of pathological conditions, I also undertake periocular cosmetic surgery, and I regularly manage complications of cosmetic eyelid surgery undertaken by surgeons in other specialties.
Areas of interest
Eyelid surgery; cosmetic eyelid surgery; blepharoplasty; brow lift surgery; eyelid reconstruction surgery including reconstruction following Mohs micrographic surgery; blepharoptosis surgery; socket reconstructive surgery; eyelid tumour surgery; eyelid surgery for facial palsy patients; ectropion surgery; entropion surgery; orbital surgery; orbital fracture surgery; thyroid eye disease surgery; orbital decompression surgery; watery eye surgery; endoscopic DCR; Lester Jones tube surgery; chalazion; ptosis (drooping eyelid); eyelid lesions; eyelid cysts; removal of facial lumps and bumps
