I am a fellowship trained Trauma and Orthopaedic Consultant Surgeon based in Bristol, and have a specialist elective practice exclusively in knee surgery. My aim is to ensure that no matter what knee problem you have, I provide the individual expertise so you can return to the activities that you love in life.

EVIDENCE-BASED CARE

I want to ensure that you receive the best possible treatment individual to you, so research and innovation is a major part of my expertise.

I am the West of England National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) musculoskeletal research lead, and a member of national and international specialist knee societies; every year I attend and present at international conferences allowing me to see where the innovations are happening.

I review for major scientific journals and have written numerous research articles and book chapters on managing a broad range of conditions which can be found in a full list of publications here and also alongside other important articles in each field of knee surgery in each panel below.
