I take an individualised approach to every patient I see, tailoring assessment and treatment recommendations to each person’s diagnosis, symptoms and goals. We are fortunate in foot and ankle surgery to have a wide range of treatment options available — both non-surgical and surgical — and a significant part of my role is helping patients understand those options and navigate towards the right choice for them. My aim is always to ensure each patient feels informed, supported and confident in the plan we agree together.
He held a substantive NHS Consultant post at UH Sussex from 2018 to 2026 and has now moved fully into private practice to focus on clinical practice, teaching the next generation of Foot and Ankle Consultants and working as a medicolegal expert.
