About me
I am a consultant ophthalmologist at the Countess of Chester Hospital where I am the clinical lead for the Emergency Ophthalmology service and also specialises as an Oculoplastic Consultant. Aside from general ophthalmology and primary care I have three main surgical areas of expertise and specialist interest; oculoplastic surgery, lacrimal surgery and cataract surgery.
A little bit about me... I grew up on the Wirral and along with the traditional sciences I studied fine-art at school and pursued this to A-level achieving the highest mark in my year. I am still a keen artist today and often tells my patients that Art has been the best foundation-block to my career as a surgeon.
I graduated from The University of Leeds Medical School in 2009 and worked as house officer in Yorkshire before spending a year working in Emergency Medicine in Cairns, Australia. I returned to the UK and took up my ophthalmology registrar training based in the Mersey region. Here I spent time working at the world-renowned St Paul’s Eye Hospital in Liverpool and Alder Hey Children’s Hospital. I then completed a yearlong fellowship within training in oculoplastic, lacrimal and orbital surgery at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital. This was followed by a further 18-month fellowship in oculoplastic, lacrimal and orbital surgery at Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
What services do I offer?
I am a highly trained oculoplastic surgeon and I particularly enjoy performing blepharoplasty surgery removing excess eyelid skin to rejuvenate the peri-ocular area. I also have expertise in lifting droopy eyelids (ptosis surgery) and correcting eyelids that have rolled out or inwards (ectropion/entropion surgery).
I provide precise, safe and efficient cataract surgery for routine and complex cases. I offer monofocal, toric and premium intraocular lenses.
I also have expertise in the diagnosis and surgical management of watery eyes.
I have extensive experience treating emergency eye conditions and general ophthalmology conditions such as medical glaucoma
I believe in providing all my patients the highest quality service with a comfortable and relaxed patient journey.
