About me
I have worked as a Consultant in Anaesthesia and Pain Medicine for 16 years, having completed my training in Bristol and Reading. I was lead for pain medicine at the Royal Berkshire Hospital for 10 years and I now work independently in both anaesthesia and Pain medicine. I offer a holistic pain consultation, offering medication advice as well as interventional treatments such as nerve root blocks, sacroiliac joint injections, medial branch blocks (facet joint injections), peripheral nerve blocks and radio frequency and I utilise the services of pain physiotherapy and psychology services when required.
Areas of interest
