About me
I have been a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist in West Hertfordshire since 2002.
My practice covers all aspects of benign gynaecology and I have a special interest in Urogynaecology, Period Problems and Pelvic pain including the treatment of endometriosis. I am also happy to see patients with Vulval / Vaginal skin problems and Menopausal symptoms.
I have been happily married since 1992 and have 3 children. My wife works as a nurse specialist, my eldest son is a junior doctor and my daughter is training to be a physiotherapist. We are a medical family - apart from my second son who has chosen to do something else!
