Welcome to my website which aims to inform patients and colleagues about Surgical areas of interest I have. I came to the Poole and Bournemouth area from St. Mark’s Hospital in London and as a Consultant Surgeon have published and presented results from my work, some of these are included within this website.

I am a General Surgeon whose subspeciality interests are Colorectal, Laparoscopy, Hernias, Oncology, Thrombosis, Surgical Training and Balancing Surgical Risks.

I offer a wide range of Surgical services for patients presenting with both elective and emergency problems. This includes many abdominal operations, gall bladder resections, hernias surgery of all types, excision of skin lesions, vasectomies, scrotal and groin lumps in addition to the Colorectal (gut) operations below.

My Colorectal practice includes patients with minor colorectal problems like itching, incontinence, haemorrhoids, fistulas and fissures. Rectal bleeding affects up to 20% of the adult population per year and reassuringly it is usually due to a simple cause, but it is important to rule out other causes. I manage patients requiring major surgery for complex inflammatory bowel disease and those requiring major operations for bowel cancer. When clinically appropriate I offer laparoscopic (key hole) colorectal surgery. For early rectal cancer and polyps I also treat patients by Transanal Endoscopic Microscopic Surgery (TEMS) using highly specialized equipment that is available in Poole.

Away from Surgery I am married with three lovely children, play golf (handicap 9), support West Ham; contributing to Bobby Moore’s biography and collect the graphic works of Salvador Dali.
