About me
I am a Consultant Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) surgeon practicing in Kent and East Sussex. I have over 20 years of experience providing specialist ENT treatment as a consultant. I practiced in the NHS as an ENT Consultant at East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust until 2025.
Having graduated from St Thomas' Hospital Medical School, London in 1989, I completed specialist ENT training in London and the South Thames region. I am on the General Medical Council Specialist Register (GMC number 3335534). I underwent specialist training in Head and Neck surgery at the Royal Marsden Hospital, London, and advanced training in thyroid and parathyroid surgery at the Hammersmith and Charing Cross Hospitals, London. I was awarded a Fellowship by the European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery, training at two centres of excellence in Amsterdam and Stuttgart.
I received a National award in 2018 from the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists for pioneering the first One-Stop Swallow Disorder Clinic in the UK.
Committed to delivering personalised care and optimal outcomes, I prioritise patient involvement in decision-making and collaborate closely with Consultant colleagues in ENT and other specialities.
In my surgical practice, I offer minimally invasive and endoscopic surgical techniques to speed up the post-operative recovery and reduce the time required in hospital eg. Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) and Balloon Sinuplasty to treat sinusitis.
Beyond clinical practice, I contribute to clinical research in ENT and endocrine surgery and have published extensively in the medical literature. Please go to my website (www.theentclinic.co.uk) to view a list of my publications.
