I take time to get to know my patients properly. We will talk through your symptoms, any previous medical issue, and any worries you have without a rush. Any tests or treatments are discussed in detail so you leave with a clear plan — and a sense that you have been heard.
I have been a consultant cardiologist at the Oxford Heart Centre since 2017. I work across all areas of cardiology, but specialise in heart failure and cardiac device implantation — pacemakers, implantable defibrillators and cardiac resynchronisation therapy.
I trained at Cambridge and Oxford medical schools. I gained a Doctorate of Medicine from the University of Oxford for my research in cardiac resynchronisation therapy, and have published more than forty peer-reviewed scientific papers.
