I started my surgical training in England where I completed my Basic Surgical Training in London. I then migrated to Australia where I completed my General Surgery fellowship on the Prince of Wales Hospital Network. I undertook further training in advanced Colorectal Surgery in Sydney including a 12-month Robotic Fellowship at Nepean Hospital.

I have expertise in advanced surgical techniques for conditions of the bowel including colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, bowel endometriosis and diverticular disease. My practice also includes general surgery conditions, endoscopy (gastroscopy and colonoscopy) and other benign anorectal conditions.

I have a particular interest in:
1) The diagnoses with High resolution anoscopy and surgical management of HPV related anal dysplasia and anal cancer.
2) Functional defecation disorders such as faecal incontinence and obstructive defecation. I perform on site a comprehensive anal physiology and anatomy assessment of the anal sphincter (endoanal ultrasound and anal manometry). A vital tool in the management of obstetric anal sphincter injuries, anal fistula and faecal incontinence.

I am passionate about providing comprehensive personalised care for all my patients.

I am is currently writing my Doctor in Philosophy (PhD) dissertation on “The role of molecular biomarkers in prediction of response to neoadjuvant Chemoradiation in rectal cancer” at UNSW, Sydney. I am the recipient of various grants and scholarships including the prestigious NHMRC Clinical Postgraduate Scholarship for my PhD studies at The Garvan Institute of Medical Research.

I am an avid educator and have been a Lecturer at both UNSW and University of Sydney.

Currently my main research interest is in the diagnoses, screening and treatment of HPV related anal dysplasia and anal cancer in high risk populations.
