About me

I am a consultant colorectal and pelvic floor surgeon at St Mark's Hospital in London. This is the only specialist bowel hospital in the UK. 

​

I have a specialist interest in pelvic floor disorders, stoma, abdominal wall hernia, proctology , inflammatory bowel disease, pilonidal disease and other areas of benign colorectal pathology.

​

I qualified from Imperial College School of Medicine (St Mary’s Hospital) in 2003 with distinction in surgery and a BSc from Imperial College, London. My basic surgery training was undertaken in the northwest London region with further specialist training in southwest London, Surrey and at St Mark’s Hospital.

​

During my training, I undertook two years of research into pelvic floor disorders at St Mark’s Hospital and was awarded an MD (Res) higher research degree from Imperial College, London.

​

I have maintained a strong research interest in this field. I have published over 50 peer reviewed papers and many text book chapters on pelvic floor and colorectal disorders. I have presented widely on these subjects at national and international meetings. 

I was awarded travelling fellowships from the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland in 2016 and from the European Society of Coloproctology in 2018. I have spent time at the Cleveland Clinic Hospitals in Florida and Ohio USA, and at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nantes France.

​

I was awarded the FRCS from the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 2016. 

​

I am a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, a member of the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland, the European Society of Coloproctology and The UK Pelvic Floor Society.
