I am trained in the UK and I am on the Specialist Register for General Surgery. My practice includes both simple open procedures & more complex laparoscopic surgical day-cases and inpatient operations. My special interest is in minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgery, which allows for smaller incisions, less pain and quicker post-operative recovery. In the private arena, I work with trained and extremely friendly administrative staff who endeavours to respond to your queries quickly and offer you with appointments at your convenient times.
