I have been a consultant surgeon for 25 years. I am an experienced consultant surgeon in thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal surgery. I am an expert in hyperparathyroidism and goitres (thyroid enlargement).

I specialise in parathyroid, thyroid and adrenal surgery. I undertake parathyroid and thyroid surgery using nerve monitoring and intraoperative parathyroid hormone levels monitoring.

I have performed over 1,000 thyroid and 1,000 parathyroid procedures. I monitor my outcomes through a national database (UKRETS).
