His surgical practice includes the use of contemporary techniques such as direct anterior approach hip replacement and robotic-assisted knee replacement. These technologies support detailed pre-operative planning, surgical accuracy, implant positioning, and recovery.

Surgical Approach and Patient Experience

I aim to provide clear information and personalised treatment options to help patients make informed decisions about their care. When surgery is considered appropriate, I use evidence-based techniques and enhanced recovery principles designed to support rehabilitation and return to function.

I also discuss non-surgical treatment options, including physiotherapy, activity modification, injections, and other conservative measures tailored to your symptoms.
