About

I'm a consultant ophthalmic surgeon with a specialist interest in corneal surgery and high volume and complex cataract surgery. I qualified from Guy’s, King’s and St Thomas’ Hospital Medical School in 2005 where I was awarded the Hisako Ikeda undergraduate prize in ophthalmology and special study module merits for studies in ophthalmology. During my ophthalmic training, I was awarded the John Cairns Memorial prize and the Marie Comer prize from the Cambridge University Hospitals Trust for research projects in ophthalmology.

My key professional interests are complex cataract surgery, refractive cataract surgery and cataract surgery in patients with pre-existing corneal and ocular surface disease. I have extensive experience with premium lens technology with a specific focus on toric, enhanced monofocal, extended depth of focus and multifocal lens implants. I'm passionate about surgical excellence and about excellent patient communication. Working very closely with patients to plan their surgery and then sharing their joy once they’ve achieved fantastic results is definitely the best part of my job!

I have a very strong interest in medical education and am heavily involved in surgical training within region. I'm very pleased to be part of the Newmedica team and proud of the huge emphasis we place on patient safety, outcomes and experience, which results in our surgical outcomes ranking amongst the very best nationally.
