Senior Consultant Urologist & Genitourinary Reconstructive Surgeon
A Career Built Around Reconstructive Urology
My professional journey has taken me from general surgery to specialised urology and, ultimately, to a focused practice in reconstructive urology.
Today, I have a particular interest in the evaluation and treatment of urethral stricture disease and complex conditions requiring urethral, penile and genitourinary reconstruction.
My approach is centred on understanding the individual patient, explaining the available options clearly and developing a treatment plan based on the patient's condition, needs and goals.
