I have only ever wanted to do hand surgery from the time I started studying Medicine at the University of Auckland. The complex interplay between form and function has always fascinated me.
I trained in New Zealand becoming an Orthorpaedic Specialist in 1999.
I undertook 18 months of further subspecialty training at Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney Hospital and St Lukes Hospital.
After fellowship training, I was invited to work as a Hand Surgical Consultant at the prestigious Sydney Hospital Hand Surgical Unit with private rooms in Macquarie Street. I worked in Sydney for 10 years.
In late 2002 I realised that there was an opportunity to improve the standard of hand surgical care in Newcastle. In 2005 I set up the Hand Surgery Centre in the grounds of the John Hunter Hospital and Newcastle Private Hospital. It was set-up exclusively to provide comprehensive treatment for conditions of the hand and wrist. We are co-located with the Hand Therapy Centre who provide a dedicated service to facilitate the rehabilitation of hand injuries.
I am a Senior VMO at the John Hunter Hospital where I have a teaching clinic and operating list. I have run the Hand Teaching Program for over 10 years. I also operate at Belmont Hospital, Newcastle Private Hospital and Lingard Private Hospital.
I am a member of the Australian Hand Surgery Society, New South Wales Hand Surgery Association, the Australian Medical Association and Royal Australian College of Surgeons. I have recently been the secretary of the NSWHSA.
My special interests include both osteo and rheumatoid arthritis, nerve problems, wrist arthroscopy and trauma.
With my clinical experience and dedication to my work I aim to provide you with the best care of your hand condition that I can.
