My Profile:: I am a Consultant in Pain Medicine and Anaesthesia for over 12 years and have a Diplomate in Lifestyle Medicine.

I believe in and practise evidence-based medicine and have a holistic approach to pain conditions which involves not only advise on medications and a wide variety of interventions but also advise on diet, sleep, and exercise.
