Orthopaedic Surgeon
Brentwood, CM13 3LE
I offer private complex hip surgery, knee surgery and general trauma surgery in our clean and comfortable private hospitals – Spire Hartswood Hospital, Spire Wellesley Hospital and Spire London East Hospital. I was appointed as a NHS consultant at Barking, Havering and Redbridge Hospital in 2017. I obtained my trauma and orthopaedics training in the North East Thames and London Deanery on the prestigious Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH) rotation. I have trained in teaching hospitals like RNOH, the Great Ormond Street Hospital and the Royal London Hospital.
My patients would benefit some home exercises videos for hip and knee arthritis on you tube. The you tube videos are called "Covid Lockdown 5 minutes exercises for hip arthritis" and "Covid Lockdown 5 minutes exercises for knee arthritis".
I am a consultant orthopaedic surgeon with special interest in computer navigated / robotic total hip replacement, computer navigated / robotic total knee replacement and computer navigated / robotic partial knee replacement. I use computer navigated / robotic surgery, which increases the accuracy of hip and knee replacement surgery further to improve the longevity of the artificial joint. My expertise in the computer navigation/robotic technology improves the functional outcome of my hip and knee replacement patients. I routinely also offer knee arthroscopy (keyhole) surgery, knee meniscal repairs, PRP injections and knee cartilage reconstruction surgery.
To date, I have been involved in over 4000 elective and trauma procedures. I have performed more than 1300 hip and knee replacements. I have performed more than 500 knee arthroscopic procedures. I was awarded the Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) by the GMC in October 2016. I am Fellowship trained. My UK fellowships were the prestigious RNOH, Stanmore lower limb arthroplasty fellowship. Armed with evidence of innovation in the form of computed assisted lower limb arthroplasty to aid provision of best outcomes for my arthroplasty patients, I completed my fellowship at The Golden Jubilee Hospital, Glasgow in computer navigation assisted hip and knee arthroplasty fellowship. To further my experience I completed a travelling fellowship in Germany in Rummelsberg in the reputed unit of Professor Wagner with experience in anterior approach hip arthroplasty. I have clinical and academic links with the unit.
My current roles as a trainer are:
I have obtained advanced training in complex hip and knee surgery during my national and international fellowships.
