About me

As a dedicated and experienced medical professional with a passion for improving the lives of individuals suffering from chronic pain, I am always eager to contribute my expertise as a Chronic Pain Medicine Consultant within my day to day practice. My commitment to patient-centered care, combined with a holistic approach that incorporates the biopsychosocial model, allows me to address the complex and multifaceted nature of chronic pain. I proudly serve the community as a Consultant in chronic pain medicine at East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust. Before that I have worked a Consultant in pain medicine at Ashford and St Peter's Hospital in Surrey and George Eliot Hospital in Midlands.

In my practice, I firmly believe that effective pain management goes beyond addressing physical symptoms. I approach each patient as a unique individual, recognizing that chronic pain is often intertwined with psychological, social, and emotional factors. By incorporating the biopsychosocial model, I strive to understand the broader context of a patient's pain, including their lifestyle, mental health, and social environment. This comprehensive perspective enables me to tailor treatment plans that not only alleviate pain but also enhance overall well-being.

The field of chronic pain management has seen significant advancements in recent years, particularly in the development of novel pharmacological interventions. I remain at the forefront of these developments, continually updating my knowledge and clinical practice to incorporate the latest evidence-based treatments. My expertise includes the use of new-generation analgesics, neuromodulators, and adjuvant therapies that offer improved efficacy and reduced side effects.
Recognizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, I am an advocate for the integration of non-pharmacological techniques in pain management. I routinely perform spinal nerve and joint injections followed by radio-frequency denervation procedures to provide long lasting relief. I use, ultrasound or X-ray guidance to ensure the precise and optimal placement of therapeutic agents which can provide significant relief for patients with intractable pain. I perform around 600 pain procedures annually and Consult more than 600 patients with chronic pain condition per year. Additionally, I encourage the incorporation of complementary therapies, including physical therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based practices, which have shown great promise in improving pain outcomes and enhancing quality of life.
In addition to my clinical work, I am deeply committed to the ongoing education of both myself and my colleagues. I actively participate in clinical governance and professional development activities, contributing to the growing body of knowledge in chronic pain management.
As a Chronic Pain Medicine Consultant, my goal is to deliver comprehensive, compassionate, and cutting-edge care to individuals suffering from chronic pain. By embracing a holistic approach and integrating the latest advances in both pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments, I am confident in my ability to make a meaningful difference in the lives of my patients.
