I am a strong advocate of ‘patient centred orthopaedic care’ and have always believed in empowering my patients and follow the principles of ‘patient knows best’. This is consistently reflected in excellent feedback from my patients.
I believe that my patients are not mere anatomic specimens with a joint pathology.

This includes developing a thorough understanding of your expectation, concerns, personality and lifestyle. My main aim is to get the best possible outcome for you and make sure that you are satisfied with your experience.
