Consultations

After a thorough evaluation, his goal is to provide tailored treatment advice to help patients on their path to recovery.
S
Surgery
Despite being a surgeon, only one in three consultations will result in the need to talk about surgical treatment as a potential option for the presenting problem. However if surgery is an option, he will aim to inform patients on the alternatives, benefits, risks and recovery will be explored to establish if it the most suitable option.
O
Second Opinions
He has a specialist practice through his role at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital providing second opinions for patients facing complex foot deformity or have experienced unsuccessful treatments.
