Hello

I’m a Senior Consultant ENT Surgeon based in Surrey who specialises in treating diseases of the head and neck, including cancer.

My team and I are able to offer a complete diagnostic and treatment service for the many head and neck conditions listed on this page.

I qualified from  St. Mary’s Medical School, Imperial College in 1994 and became a Consultant in 2007. My higher surgical training was in London with Senior Registrar positions at St George’s, Guys and St Thomas’ and a fellowship at The Royal Marsden.

I hold Consultant ENT NHS posts at the Royal Surrey and Frimley Park Foundation trust Hospitals and regularly undertake complex head and neck cancer surgery, airway surgery and benign head and neck surgery.

As well as my busy clinical practice, I have written numerous articles for journals and lectured both nationally and internationally.

I have previously been Clinical Director at the Royal Surrey County Hospital and ENT Training Programme Director for Kent, Surrey and Sussex Health Care England.
