I am a General and Transplant Surgeon with expertise in a wide range of surgical procedures. I regularly perform laparoscopic cholecystectomy and appendicectomy, open inguinal and umbilical hernia repairs, and the excision of skin lesions such as lipomas and cysts. In my role as a Transplant and Renal Access Surgeon, I also specialise in the laparoscopic insertion of peritoneal dialysis catheters and the formation of arteriovenous fistulas.

I hold a Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS) in General Surgery. I have completed sub-specialty training in Renal and Pancreas Transplantation Surgery at Westmead Hospital in Sydney and Monash Health in Melbourne. Additionally, I undertook a Fellowship in Trauma and Acute Surgery at Auckland City Hospital in New Zealand.

I currently hold a public hospital appointment with Monash Health and operate privately at Cabrini Malvern and Cabrini Brighton.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending time with my family, especially watching my three young sons play sport.
