• Personal Profile

• Outside the operating theatre, I spend my free time with my family. I have three young sons, and we spend most of our time outdoors. I am a keen swimmer and cyclist, and the excellent weather in Southend allows me to practise sport, or go out to the beach or the woods with the family when I am not working. We travel to the French Alps twice a year, skiing in winter, and walking, climbing and enjoying the mountains in summer.

• • What my patients say...

    • It is lovely to be able to teach and dance again without pain or discomfort.
