I am a Consultant Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon with a specialist interest in head and neck surgery, working in Sussex. I hold dual qualifications in Medicine and Dentistry and am on the GMC Specialist Register for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, having been entered in 2022. I also hold a substantive Consultant appointment at University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust, where I specialise in the surgical management of conditions affecting the face, mouth, skin and neck.
I graduated from Cardiff University in Medicine in 2007 and Dentistry in 2017 before completing my Basic Surgical Training in South Wales and Higher Surgical Training in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in the South East of England. Throughout my training and consultant practice, I have developed extensive experience in the diagnosis and surgical management of conditions affecting the face, mouth, skin and neck.
My specialist interests include oral surgery, skin lesion assessment and removal, mole removal, cyst removal, excision of benign and malignant skin lesions, and the surgical management and reconstruction of head and neck cancer. I regularly perform facial skin surgery and procedures requiring meticulous surgical technique, with a strong focus on achieving the best possible functional and aesthetic outcomes for every patient.
Alongside my NHS practice, I provide private consultations and treatment in Sussex as a consultant oral and maxillofacial surgeon. This includes the assessment and removal of skin lesions, mole checks and excision, cyst removal, and the management of facial lumps and bumps. I also offer selected facial aesthetic procedures. My approach is centred on delivering safe, evidence-based care in a professional and relaxed environment, ensuring that each patient receives clear advice, a personalised treatment plan, and the highest standard of surgical care.
Whether you are seeking assessment of a skin lesion, mole or facial lump, treatment for an oral or facial condition, or advice regarding aesthetic concerns, I am committed to providing honest, expert guidance and treatment tailored to your individual needs.
