I am a Consultant General and laparoscopic surgeon specialising in Hernia surgery, Gall bladder surgery, Proctology - Pilonidal disease (including EPSIT), Haemorrhoids (Piles), Fistula (including VAAFT), Fissure, Pelvic Floor Disorders, Gastroscopy and Colonoscopies.
I joined the Colchester General Hospital in 2015 as a Consultant Surgeon and perform both Laparoscopic (keyhole) and open surgeries as well as Gastroscopy and Colonoscopy. I also offer surgical services at Oaks Hospital, Colchester for privately insured, self-pay and NHS patients.

I am in the specialist registry of the General Medical Council (GMC).

Having undergone higher surgical training in Sri Lanka, Australia and in the UK, I have a diploma in advanced laparoscopic surgery from the University of Strasbourg, France. I have also undergone advanced laparoscopy training at the Colchester General Hospital.
