Professional Profile

I have been providing high-quality orthopaedic care for shoulder, elbow, hand, and knee sports injuries for a wide range of patients and elite athletes in Wellington since 2006. I pride myself on good communication, excellent judgement and decision making, and offer high quality outcomes.  I appreciate and value the opportunity to work with people from all walks of life.

I am strongly committed to both my public and private practice. I fully support and give my time to train our junior doctors and currently chair the NZ Orthopaedic Association Education Committee.

My work at the public hospital includes treating children and adolescents with orthopaedic conditions, particularly spinal deformities.
