About me

I have over 20 years' experience in Obstetrics and Gynecology and I have been working as a Consultant for the last seven years at North Middlesex Hospital, London. I am the current lead for gynaecological cancer at my trust. I am well versed in assessing women with pelvic pain, menstrual problems, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, fibroids, vulval problems, menopause issues and early gyanecological cancers.

I am well experienced in performing operations like, hysteroscopy (both outpatient and in patient) and removal of polyps/fibroids, keyhole hysterectomies/removal of ovarian cysts as well as open surgeries where needed. I can perform general gynaecological reviews including cervical smears, genital swabs for infection, vulval/labial minor surgeries and initial fertility investigations.

I have performed over 250 key hole hystrectomies, >400 laparoscopic procedures including treatment of ovarian cysts/endometriosis/treatment of infection and more than 500 hysteroscopies and I strongly believe in meticulous planning when choosing the correct procedure in partnership with the patient.

My patient-centred approach fosters a supportive and comfortable environment where patients can openly discuss their health concerns and receive individualised treatment plans. I have had multiple Greatix awards from North Mid over the last three years for improving care for patients. I believe in providing compassionate and personalised care to patients, prioritising their wellbeing and individual needs.

I obtained my medical degree from India and then completed my specialist training leading to CCT (certificate of completion of training) in the East of England deanery, UK in 2018. I specialised in several advanced training modules including labour ward management, open and laparoscopic abdominal surgery, early pregnancy and gynaecological scanning and medical education.

I am an avid teacher of gynaecological surgery. I am an assistant professor at St George's School of Medicine, Grenada and in my current role as college tutor, I supervise senior trainees who undergo the Advanced Training Module (ATSM) in gynaecological surgery offered by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG).

I have published in international journals, and I attend national and international conferences which helps to keep my knowledge up to date. I secured the first place in North Mid Improvement Expo October 2023 for outstanding cancer care for gynaecological patients.
