I have spent my career in pursuit of excellence in the field of shoulder, elbow and sports medicine surgery by pioneering new approaches, developing advanced orthopaedic implants and surgical procedures, supported by cutting-edge musculoskeletal research and patient-focused outcomes. I entered the field of Orthopaedic Surgery to make a difference to patients and it brings me great joy to help individuals of all ages regain their potential physical performance and quality of life.
