Professional Profile
After training as an orthopaedic surgeon in New Zealand, I travelled to London with my family for a fellowship in Surgery of the Shoulder, Hip and Knee. In the UK I trained at the internationally renowned Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore, London. I worked with leading surgeons in all areas of Surgery of the Shoulder. I worked in the Joint Reconstructive Unit with surgeons specialising in Complex Primary and Revision Arthroplasty of the Hip and Knee.
I returned home to New Plymouth in 2009 where I have been working as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Taranaki DHB ever since. I have also been practicing as a private Specialist Orthopaedic Surgeon since 2010, operating at Southern Cross Hospital, New Plymouth. My consulting rooms are at Noradene, 85 Vivian Street.
