Areas of interest
My clinical practice encompasses a broad range of benign gynaecological conditions, with dedicated areas of interest in menopause management and post-menopausal health. I have extensive experience in advanced laparoscopic surgery, including the treatment of endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and fallopian tube diseases. My practice also focuses significantly on urogynaecology and the management of pelvic organ prolapse, heavy periods, fibroids, and chronic pelvic pain. I am committed to delivering evidence-based, patient-centred care for all general gynaecological concerns.
