About me
I am an experienced Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon based at The Oaks Hospital and Colchester Hospital (where I am the Head of Knee Surgery for Essex and Suffolk Elective Orthopaedic Centre - the UK's newest and largest orthopaedic unit). I am a platinum rated BUPA consultant and see a high volume of patients. I am frequently referred patients from other surgeons who may have problems or for second opinions.
I perform hip, knee and trauma surgery. I keep myself up to date with the latest technologies including robotic knee surgery. I have amassed a huge experience using the CORI system and am regularly asked to train others using this technology.
I am a supervisor to trainee surgeons in the NHS and this role is vital for our future healthcare workforce. This year, I was awarded 'Trainer of the Year' for the East of England region.
I am involved in high level research, including multi-centre national research as well as locally lead work.
I think it's really important to establish a good rapport with patients, particularly when going forward to a surgical procedure. I try to give my patients the very best care they can receive.
Aside from work, I enjoy spending time with my family and anything that gets me into the outdoors! I still enjoy watching rugby (and most sports) having played to international level as a youth.
Areas of interest
I perform all types of knee surgery and primary hip surgery.
For hip replacements, I use all techniques and materials but the majority of my patients are offered uncemented total hip replacements using one of the top performing implants and bearing surfaces in all hip surgery.
For knee replacements, I perform partial knee replacements (unicompartmental and patello-femoral), total knee replacements and revision total knee replacements (replacing old failing implants or ones with problems). I offer robotic assisted surgery.
I also perform keyhole surgery (arthroscopy), meniscal surgery and ligament reconstructions such as ACL reconstruction for injuries and MPFL reconstruction for instability of the patella (kneecap).
However, not all orthopaedic conditions require surgery. In those non-operative problems, it is very important to investigate, confirm the problem and create a tailored management plan for that particular patient. Just as important as doing an operation.
