About me
I am an ophthalmic surgeon, based in Edinburgh, where my practice comprises cataract and squint surgery. In the public sector I have an additional specialist interest in paediatric ophthalmology.
Having obtained my primary medical degree in South Africa, I moved to the UK in 2003 where I trained initially in general surgical specialties, before entering ophthalmic specialist training in Edinburgh. I ultimately took up my NHS consultant post in Lothian after becoming a Fellow of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists and concluding overseas fellowship training in complex paediatric cataract and strabismus in 2015.
I perform modern cataract surgery with patient safety and visual outcomes that exceed the UK national standard, whilst also treating strabismus and delivering a busy regional specialist paediatric ophthalmic service at the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People.
With extensive publications in peer-reviewed journals, and active participation in research and education activities at the Princess Alexandra Eye Pavilion, I aim to provide bespoke, cost-effective and high-quality patient-centered care.
Please note that I do not currently see children privately and am not offering squint surgery to BUPA members.
