After training as an Orthopaedic Surgeon in New Zealand, I undertook fellowships at the Royal Adelaide Hospital in South Australia and then at Vancouver General Hospital in Canada before returning to a Consultant position at Auckland City Hospital.

I specialise in hip and knee joint replacement, especially complex primary and revision surgery. I have an interest in managing hip problems in young patients and perform reconstructive procedures and arthroscopy in the public system.

I cover all aspects of orthopaedic trauma at Auckland City Hospital and sub-specialise in fractures of the hip and lower limb and fractures around hip and knee replacements. I also treat general foot and ankle pathology.

I am committed to strengthening medical education and research in New Zealand and the Asia Pacific region. I am a clinical lecturer with Auckland University Medical School, Department of Surgery and closely affiliated with the Auckland Bioengineering Institute.

I am the New Zealand Research Officer for AO Asia Pacific and sit on the Young Surgeons Committee for the International Society for Orthopaedics and Traumatology. I regularly travel throughout Asia teaching with the Zimmer Education Institute.
