His NHS practice at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, one of the UK's leading tertiary orthopaedic centres, is a tertiary referral practice for complex and previously-operated foot and ankle problems. Alongside this he provides private specialist care to patients from across London, the UK and overseas, including recreational, professional and elite athletes.

His philosophy is centred on evidence-based practice, shared decision-making and tailoring treatment to each patient's individual goals, whether returning to elite sport, maintaining an active lifestyle or relieving pain from advanced arthritis.
