GMC reg: 3441190Born in the northeast and raised in Whitley Bay. Graduated from Newcastle University Medical school in 1990.

Sport surgery
As a fellowship trained knee surgeon I perform all aspects of knee surgery from small arthroscopic day case procedures to major revision surgery for failed total knee replacements. I have a special interest in soft tissue knee surgery especially ligament reconstruction and articular cartilage preservation techniques. I see a lot of patients with pain secondary to arthritis. Not all require a total knee replacement which is the fall back procedure of many knee surgeons. Depending on their age, alignment , deformity and severity of symptoms they may be a candidate for joint preserving surgery such as osteotomy or partial joint replacement such as a uni-compartmental knee replacement all of which I perform on a regular basis.
