VERIFIED PHYSICIAN PROFILE · UPDATED MAY 2026

About

I am a Consultant Thoracic Surgeon with a highly specialised practice focused on chest wall deformities and complex chest wall and rib conditions. My work centres in particular on pectus excavatum, pectus carinatum, chest wall asymmetry, and complex or mixed pectus deformities, including patients who have undergone previous chest wall surgery or experienced suboptimal outcomes or complications following earlier procedures.

My specialist clinical practice is reflected in my work through the Pectus Clinic and the Rib Injury Clinic, which focus exclusively on the assessment and management of complex chest wall deformity and rib pathology. Through this highly focused practice, I regularly receive referrals from across the UK and internationally, including patients seeking expert opinion for complex or revision cases.

I frequently assess patients with long-standing, complex or previously treated conditions, many of whom have found it difficult to obtain clear explanations or consistent advice elsewhere. I place a strong emphasis on careful clinical assessment, clear communication and providing honest, evidence-based guidance tailored to each individual patient.

My approach is centred on helping patients fully understand their diagnosis and the full range of management options available. Not all chest wall or rib conditions require surgery, and in many cases reassurance, monitoring or non-operative treatment is the most appropriate course. Where surgical treatment is considered, I take time to explain the potential benefits, limitations and risks in detail, and to ensure expectations are realistic and well aligned before any decisions are made.

I have extensive experience in the assessment and management of both adult and adolescent patients and work closely with multidisciplinary colleagues where appropriate. I aim to provide a calm, supportive consultation environment in which patients feel listened to, comfortable asking questions, and able to make informed decisions about their care.

Patients often value my thoroughness, clear explanations and balanced approach to decision-making. My goal is to ensure each patient feels informed, supported and confident in the plan agreed, whether that involves surgery, non-operative management or reassurance alone.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
