What I treat

The problems people put off for years.

Most patients arrive with one specific complaint. These are the conditions I treat most often, with keyhole and robotic surgery wherever it is the right choice.

Still not sure?

Most people who call cannot name their condition. That is what the first appointment is for.

In person, by video or by telephone — we start with your symptoms, and work out together what is going on.

Robotic & keyhole surgery

The same operation, through a few millimetres.

Where it is the right choice for you, I operate laparoscopically or with robotic assistance — for bowel cancer and benign colorectal conditions, and for abdominal wall hernias.
