About me
I am a Consultant ENT and Head & Neck Surgeon with a dual practice across the NHS and private sector. My NHS work is based at Luton and Dunstable University Hospital and Bedford Hospital within the Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, where I am actively involved in the multidisciplinary management of complex ear, nose, throat, head and neck conditions.
In my private practice, I consult at Spire Harpenden Hospital and The Cobham Clinic in Luton, providing timely access to specialist assessment and treatment in a calm, patient-focused setting.
I am listed on the Specialist Register of the General Medical Council (UK), reflecting completion of the highest level of surgical training and accreditation in the UK. My training spans leading institutions in both the UK and India, where I was awarded a national Gold Medal for achieving the highest distinction in ENT.
To further refine my subspecialist expertise, I undertook advanced fellowship training in Head & Neck and Thyroid surgery, alongside dedicated training in Otology (ear surgery). This breadth of training allows me to manage a wide spectrum of conditions, from common ENT concerns to complex oncological and reconstructive cases.
My clinical practice is built on three core principles:
Clarity � clear explanations and honest discussions
Precision � evidence-based, meticulous surgical care
Continuity � consistent support from consultation through to recovery
I believe patients value not only technical expertise, but also trust, accessibility, and reassurance. My aim is to provide all three�consistently.
