Expert care, with time to listen.

Experience focused on hips and knees.

I have worked in orthopaedics since 1998. I have three orthopaedic degrees from India and three more from the UK, including the FRCS in Trauma and Orthopaedics. I am on the GMC specialist register to practise as a consultant in trauma and orthopaedics.

My specialist interest is in hips and knees, as the name of this website suggests. I believe it is important to focus on one or two specialist areas to deliver good care.

I have been in the North West since 2003 and have enjoyed learning from excellent surgeons in well-run hospitals. This includes working at Wrightington Hospital, a centre of excellence for orthopaedics, as the John Charnley Fellow, learning how to tackle complex hip and knee problems.

My focus is on an ethical, sensible consultation. Explaining the problem in simple terms and laying out the options is an important part of this. Sometimes you need time to decide; sometimes you need more information to understand the problem.

I assess and treat hip and knee problems ranging from sports injuries and painful or unstable joints to early wear and tear and severe arthritis.

Treatment may mean understanding the problem and choosing no further treatment, physiotherapy, injections into or around the joint, keyhole surgery or a joint replacement. We can discuss the options and materials together.

On a personal front

I have a son and daughter, and enjoy cricket, swimming and an occasional dram of a good single malt.
