A lifetime of experience. A focused approach.

I've spent much of my working life listening to people, understanding their concerns and helping them make informed decisions.

I qualified in medicine in 1983 and went on to work in hospital medicine, general practice and the healthcare industry. For more than 18 years, facial aesthetics has also been an important part of my professional life.

Today, my approach is deliberately focused. I believe that experience matters not simply because of what it teaches you to do, but because it helps you recognise when less is better.

A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

A career beyond aesthetics.

My working life has taken me from hospital wards and general practice into the wider world of healthcare, technology and medical innovation.

Those different experiences have given me a broader perspective on what matters in a consultation: understanding the person, communicating clearly and making decisions together.

Facial aesthetics is now a deliberately focused part of my working life. I enjoy the precision of the work, the personal nature of the consultations and the opportunity to maintain relationships with patients over many years.

MY APPROACH

The conversation comes first.

If you're considering facial aesthetic treatment, I'd be pleased to explain how I approach consultations and what you can expect when you come to see me.
