Based in Somerset UK
Since 2003, I have practiced as a Consultant Hand Surgeon on the GMC Specialist Register, with over 30 years of experience in managing hand and wrist conditions. In 1992, I graduated from the University of Oxford School of Medicine and then went on to complete my registrar and fellowship training at Wrightington Hospital. With 20+ years of experience as a Consultant, I have undertaken innovative, complex procedures in both the NHS and the private sectors and this has equipped me to provide the highest quality hand specialist care.
Find out more about your condition and treatment options from a hand specialist . A mini consultation can explore your symptoms and the process for treatment. A full consultation will aim to diagnose and plan treatment your condition. If you are a private patient you can simply book an appointment, no need to go via a GP. The cost is £95.
