My principal clinical interest is the treatment of Venous Disease. I have established a large practice in the treatment of both Acute and Chronic Deep Venous Disease as well as superficial venous disorders and together with a comprehensive multi-disciplinary team of colleagues at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital am part of one of the largest such services in Europe.

My basic medical training was in South Africa (University of the Witwatersrand) before emigrating to the United Kingdom in 2001.
