AREAS OF EXPERTISE

We offer a variety of services and treatments for your spine. I am very experienced in managing complicated cases of the spine. Besides my surgical practice, I am also a Lifestyle Medicine physician. I believe the best way to better spinal health is to adopt a healthy lifestyle. I look at holistic solutions to my patients’ health, empowering them to take control of their health issues and motivating them with my enthusiasm and passion. I believe that surgery is the last resort, only if all other options fail. I consult both privately and on the National Health Service (NHS) and am passionate about making sure patients can make informed choices in regards to their healthcare. My private practice is in conjunction with Total Orthopaedics London, which is attached to multiple hospitals in North and Central London.
