About me
I am a Consultant Ear, Nose & Throat – Head & Neck Surgeon and I work at Guy’s & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Hospital since 2002.
I am Clinical Director of Surgical Oncology and Associate Professor of Head & Neck Surgery at Kings College London. The head & neck unit at Guy’s Hospital is one of the largest in the United Kingdom.
I am a national and international expert and opinion leader in the field of head and neck cancer.
My specialist area of expertise is Head & Neck Oncology, in particular I specialise in oral cavity, thyroid and salivary gland cancer surgery. I am an expert in Trans Oral Robotic Surgery (TORS). This allows cancer surgery to be performed avoiding scars on the face and neck.
I performed the first ever double robotic cancer surgery removing lung and throat cancers simultaneously.
I also have expertise in treating advanced skin cancers and orbital cancers. I am the attending head and neck surgeon to Moorfields Eye Hospital.
Other surgeons from the region send me complex cases for me to operate on.
I also have an interest in salvage surgery following failed radiotherapy treatment.
I have a strong research commitment having published over 100 publications and have been an invited expert speaker to several national and international scientific meetings.
I am passionate and committed to improving the outcomes for patients with head and neck cancer
Recently, I have invented Robotic Assisted Orbital Surgery (RAOS) and performed the first ever robotic surgery to remove a cancer on the eye saving the patient's eyesight. this was reported in the Times newspaper.
I am a principal investigator on several translational research trials and clinical trials in head and neck cancer. Only through dedicated research can we help patients battle against cancer which will affect 1:3 adults during their lifetime.
I am member of the Court of Examiners for the Royal College of Surgeons of England and am an examiner for the FRCS Otolaryngology intercollegiate speciality examination.
When you see me as a patient you'll have the confidence and knowledge that you're with a caring, compassionate, experienced and expert head and neck surgeon.
