I was born and raised in South Africa and moved to Australia after school. I graduated from UNSW School of Medicine with Honours and underwent intern and residency years at Royal North Shore Hospital before commencing the formal surgical program in the challenging Southwest Sydney Network. After successfully completing the intense surgical training program through Liverpool, Campbelltown and Tweed Hospitals, I was awarded Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS).
I acquired further subspecialty training and experience through coveted fellowship positions on the Breast, Endocrine, Head and Neck Unit at Liverpool Hospital and the Surgical Oncology and Sarcoma Unit at Prince of Wales Hospital and Royal Hospital for Women. Extensive additional coursework has added further expertise, including proficiency in bedside thyroid and parathyroid ultrasound.
I have an academic interest in education and research, particularly in the field of thyroid cancer, which has led to numerous national and international conference presentations and publications. I regularly attend courses and conferences locally and overseas to further my knowledge and keep up to date with the latest research and guidelines. I take great pleasure in regularly training and mentoring junior surgeons and medical students, and I am active in teaching as a conjoint lecturer for Western Sydney University. Away from work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and 3 daughters.
My mission is to provide experienced, individualised and expert surgical care for conditions affecting the thyroid, parathyroids, neck, salivary glands, adrenals, breasts, soft tissue tumours and lumps and other conditions.
