My Vision
I understand that your health is of the utmost importance to you, and going to see a doctor can be daunting and stressful at times.
It is my priority to put my patients at ease and and establish an open and transparent communication with them. My goal is to provide you with an accurate diagnosis and deliver the most effective treatment to the best of my abilities.
Areas of Expertise
Head and Neck, Thyroid, Parathyroid, Rhinology, Laryngology Disorders
I am a high-volume surgeon, performing more than 50 thyroidectomies, parathyroidectomies and parotidectomies a year.
​
To date, my parathyroidectomy success rate is 100%.​
About Me
I am a fully UK-trained and fellowship-trained Otolaryngology, Head and Neck, Thyroid and Parathyroid surgeon.

I specialise in benign and malignant head and neck, thyroid and parathyroid disorders amongst general ENT disorders, including rhinology and laryngology.

My Patients Say
Fees and Insurance
All privately-insured and self-pay patients are welcome.
Private Health Insurance Patients
I am a recognised provider by major health insurers such as BUPA, WPA, AXA, Aviva, Cigna and Healix.
​
Prior to your appointment, it is advisable to check with your insurance company to clarify cover. You should update your insurance company regarding further investigations or treatment that may be proposed.
If your insurer does not cover the full cost any of the above, the final responsibility for settlement of all bills will rest with you.
Self-Pay Patients
If you wish to arrange an appointment on a self-funding basis, it is recommended that you see your GP first to ensure the most appropriate referral.
​
Consultation fees:
​
-
New outpatient consultation: £250
-
Follow-up outpatient consultation: £150
​
Please be aware that, on top of the consultation fees, the private Clinic or Hospital may also charge for any tests/procedures performed at the time of your consultation, as well as for pathology, histology and radiology undertaken at a later date. These charges can sometimes be quite costly.
​
The final responsibility for settlement of all bills will rest with you.
Virtual consultations are available if patients only seek advice or further opinion. However, if diagnosis and treatment is required, most virtual consultations require an in-person follow up appointment for examination. Virtual appointments are conducted via telephone or video.
