Professional Profile

I am an Audiovestibular Consultant Physician & Neuro-otologist, based in London. I am a highly trained and experienced Medical Specialist, who always aims to provide expert & timely care to those suffering with dizziness, vertigo, balance disorders, tinnitus & hearing loss, in London & the Surrounding AreasAfter studying medicine at University College London, I completed Foundation and then Core Medical Training, before specialising in Audiovestibular Medicine within the Pan-London training programme. I had the privilege and benefit of training at leading and internationally recognised institutes including St George’s Hospital, the Royal National Throat Nose & Ear Hospital, The Nuffield Hearing & Speech Centre and Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.

I am a member of the Royal College of Physicians, as well as the British Association of Audiovestibular Physicians. I was awarded a Distinction in the Post-Graduate certificate in ‘Otology & Audiology’ from the world renowned UCL Ear Institute. I have presented at national meetings and conferences & have been published in peer reviewed journals. I have won national prizes, and was extremely honoured to be recognised by my specialist peers when I was awarded the highly prestigious 2020 ‘Pat Jobson Prize’ by the British Association of Audiovestibular Physicians, for services to Audiovestibular Medicine. 

I am passionate about training the next generation of doctors, and aside from regularly teaching medical students in my outpatient clinics, I give the formal lecture on ‘Dizziness, Vertigo and Imbalance’ at St George’s University of London Medical School. I am committed to improving healthcare provision for patients with dizziness, vertigo, balance disorders, hearing loss and tinnitus, and so I am also currently developing a free educational resource for GPs and doctors working in acute medicine, to help them better manage these symptoms and conditions. I am always happy to provide Educational Sessions to other Healthcare Professionals. I also produce educational healthcare content for social media, with the aim of providing easy-to-understand, medically-accurate information, to empower patients to better understand and manage their conditions.

In my NHS role, I am an Audiovestibular Consultant Physician at Epsom & St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust, where I run a busy clinic covering all areas within Audiovestibular Medicine in both adults and children. I am extremely proud to be recognised and known for my expert knowledge, compassionate nature and excellent communication. I pride myself in working in partnership with patients, ensuring I always provide effective, holistic and patient-centred care.

I am a recognised Consultant Physician provider for the following private healthcare insurance companies
