About me

I have been an ENT Consultant since 2016. I see the majority of the children and patients with balance problems in my NHS practice at East Surrey and Crawley Hospitals so have a lot of experience in these areas. My training in ENT was supplemented by further training in complex ear surgery and cochlear implant surgery in children as young as 11 months. I continue to provide support for colleagues in caring for patients requiring ear surgery.

I specialise in general ENT with specific interest in ear disorders, balance disorders and children ENT.

To date I have performed over 1000 tonsillectomies including more modern intracapsular techniques. I have also performed over 1000 ear operations including mastoid surgery, eardrum reconstruction and implementation. I have performed over 500 sinus operations and over 10000 operations in total in my 13 years experience in ENT.

I am the Clinical Governance and Audit Lead for the ENT department in Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust.

I am an Appraiser of doctors in all areas of practice
