About me
I am an experienced Consultant ENT Surgeon with over 15 years experience of advanced Adult and Paediatric practice as an NHS Consultant. I am on the Specialist Register of the General Medical Council and am fully accredited by the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
I qualified in Medicine from the University of London and underwent specialist postgraduate training in teaching hospitals in London and West Midlands Regions, with additional higher training in the Netherlands. I continue to attend international conferences and courses to stay up-to-date. I hold the posts of Consultant and Head of Department for ENT/Head & Neck Surgery at the West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust.
My private practice is based at Spire Bushey Hospital and at Spire Harpenden Hospital. I also have clinics at OSD Healthcare in Hemel Hempstead.
I always try to ensure that I have listened to my patients and that I have offered a clear explanation of my findings. This helps my patients to better understand their condition and feel better able to manage it or consider any treatment options.
