About me

I am an Orthopaedic spine surgeon working in London. I was specially trained in keyhole spinal surgery in Germany. I have over 20 years of experience in managing musculoskeletal pain and injuries in UK, Germany and India.
I undertake keyhole spine surgery at HSH with a view to same day discharge after surgery.
I aim at thorough examination with adequate non operative treatments with a focus on avoiding major surgery if possible. I tend to undertake follow ups till you are satisfied with your treatment. I undertake diagnostic and therapeutic injections in the clinic using our modern fluoroscope or ultrasound machines for accurate targeted injections for conditions including
Arthritis, Sciatica, Slipped disc, low back pain, neck pain, prolapsed disc, Osteoarthritis, Tendonitis, Achilles Tendonitis, Tendinopathy, Whiplash, Joint Pain, Hip and Knee Pain, Facet joint irritation, cartilage tear, meniscus injury, patellar tendonitis, anterior knee pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, frozen shoulder etc
Treatments I offer includes
Surgery for prolapse disc, spine trauma, spine deformity, spinal infection and back/leg pain due to nerve pinching. Epidural, caudal epidural, facet joint injections, steroid injections, platelet rich plasma injections, spinal injections, hyaluronic acid injections, joint injections, ultrasound diagnosis, medial branch block diagnostic injections, cortisone injections , ultrasound guided injections, xray guided injections.

I have trained myself in a range of non-operating skills essential for surgeons including joint injections, spinal injections, nerve root blocks and epidural injections in the neck and back, as well as well as gained competence in the general practice of orthopaedic and trauma surgery.
I was involved in research and audit work and presented or published them at national and international meetings.
I am currently involved in independent management of general trauma and spine pathologies at consultant level. I am keen on developing my interest in minimally invasive spine surgery mostly LLIFs using tubes and endoscopes. I have been awarded AOSpine fellowship to visit Japan in 2020 for specialist training in MIS/endoscopic spine surgery. I have been incited as a visiting fellow at Schoen Clinic Munich Germany due in 2021.
