About

I am a Consultant Gynaecologist at The Royal Berkshire NHS Hospital Trust, specialising in Reproductive Medicine and Laparoscopic Surgery for benign conditions. In my primary role, I have held the position of Medical Lead for Gynaecology for five years, along with seven years as the Clinical Governance Lead. I have a busy surgical practice both in the NHS and independent sector. Additionally, I am a Director of TFP Thames Valley Fertility, a busy IVF clinic seeing both NHS and private patients.  I earned a Doctorate of Medicine in 2010 and became Fellow of The Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists in 2015. I am involved in teaching and supervising medical students, Foundation Year Doctors and Specialist Gynaecology Trainees.

I have developed particular expertise over a number of years in keyhole surgery for conditions including fibroids, hysterectomy and endometriosis. He is accredited and fee assured with all major health insurance companies.

I have over 20 years of IVF experience both in practice and research. My MD thesis studied women with PCOS undergoing IVF treatment and has received a number of national and international awards. My research interests include subfertility, PCOS, endometriosis, recurrent miscarriage and fibroids as well as being an expert in advanced laparoscopic surgery.

I am also a medico-legal expert witness in my area of expertise, and complete a number of reports annually.
