MBChB, FRACS.
I am a New Zealand trained orthopaedic surgeon with interests in hip and knee replacements, foot and ankle surgery and general orthopaedic conditions.
I completed my medical degree in 2009 at the University of Auckland, and gained my fellowship in orthopaedic surgery from the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in 2021.
Since then, I have further advanced my training by completing subspecialty fellowships in foot and ankle reconstructive and trauma surgery at Dalhousie University – Halifax Canada, as well as hip and knee surgery with an emphasis on joint replacement and robotic surgery in Sydney, Australia.
Having returned to the Hawkes Bay in 2023, I hold a position as a consultant orthopaedic surgeon at the Hawkes Bay Hospital, with my private practice based at the Royston Hospital in Hastings.
