  • I am a consultant liver, pancreas and gallbladder surgeon with a specialist interest in hernia, adrenal and spleen surgery and in particular keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery. My aim is to provide expert surgical care to my patients whilst taking a holistic approach to their illness.

    I treat all manner of liver, pancreas and gallbladder problems, including acute and chronic pancreatitis and have performed both laparoscopic and open gallbladder operations and open and keyhole hernia operations for the last 10 years.
