About Me

Born and raised in Hull, I was proud to graduate with honours from Leeds Medical School in 2008 as one of the top performing medical students of my year. I completed my ophthalmology training in Yorkshire where I was amongst the first of my trainee cohort to achieve the coveted CertLRS for refractive surgery, a testament to my ambition and determination to strive to be the best. To further my expertise I undertook a year of advanced sub-specialty training in cornea and refractive surgery at St James's University Teaching Hospital, one of Europe's largest teaching hospitals. My training has afforded me a wealth and depth of experience in precision eye care, and an uncompromising attitude towards the delivery of an outstanding patient experience. I always put my patients first.

​

I am the NHS consultant lead for cataract surgery at York Teaching Hospital. I also co-run the emergency eye care service. I regularly teach medical students and surgical trainees, I am a trainer on the microsurgical skills course run by the Royal College of Ophthalmologists, and I am the college tutor for York trainee ophthalmologists.

​

I specialise in complex cataract surgery and intraocular lens work. I have performed over 2500 cataract operations with visual outcomes surpassing the national standards cited by the Royal College of Ophthalmologists.  My experience in emergency eye care means I am very skilled in dealing with a wide range of eye problems. Now residing in York my hard work, integrity and professionalism have enabled me to establish a successful private practice, alongside my NHS work, and I am now expanding my availability for private consultations at the Spire Hospital in Hull. 

​

I consider myself very fortunate to call the beautiful county of Yorkshire my home and in my spare time regularly enjoy country walks and bike rides with my wife, children and dog.
