He is an accredited endoscopist and regularly presents his work at national and international conferences, contributing to surgical education and the advancement of minimally invasive techniques. His approach focuses on personalised care and the use of modern surgical technologies to improve outcomes and reduce recovery times for his patients.

Frequently asked questions

  • Why did you decide to become a Consultant General and Colorectal Surgeon ?

    I was drawn to colorectal surgery during my training because it's a rapidly evolving field. The technology keeps advancing—from open to laparoscopic and now robotic surgery—which means there's always more to learn. I also enjoy the variety, from managing complex bowel cancer cases to treating benign issues like haemorrhoids. I chose to practise privately as well because it allows patients to be seen, diagnosed and treated much sooner than in the NHS, with more control over when and how their care is delivered.

  • What are the common symptoms that your patients tend to present with?

    It depends on their condition. Patients often come in with rectal bleeding, changes in bowel habits, abdominal pain, or unexplained weight loss. Some are referred with a diagnosis of bowel cancer or inflammatory bowel disease and want to discuss treatment options. Others might present with hernias or painful anal conditions like fissures and haemorrhoids.

  • What are the treatments that you're able to offer your patients?

    I offer a wide range of diagnostics and treatments. These include blood and stool tests, X-rays, ultrasound, CT scans, MRI, PET-CT, and nuclear medicine imaging. I'm also an accredited endoscopist. For treatment, I offer both minimally invasive and robotic surgery, depending on the case.

  • What are your areas of sub-specialist interest?

    My subspecialist interests lie in minimally invasive and robotic colorectal cancer surgery. I also have a particular interest in benign anal conditions like fissures and haemorrhoids.
