Hand and Micro Surgeon

I am a fully qualified Hand and Micro Surgeon living with my family in Newcastle Australia. 
I initially trained in Orthopaedic Surgery in Newcastle Australia to obtain my FRACS in Orthopaedics, after which I moved my family to Singapore to further train in Hand Surgery and Microsurgery at the National University Hospital.
During my Orthopaedic training in Newcastle, it was apparent that the community was in need of specialized Reconstructive Hand and Microsurgeons, who would be able to treat not only the basics of Hand Surgery, but also the most severe industrial accidents to save injured patient's digits and limbs.

The level of training and discipline to perform this surgery came only after intensive training and countless operations. Singapore has a large shipping and industrial component to their workload, which made it the ideal environment to develop these skills.
On my return to Australia, I accepted a VMO position at John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle to fill the need for Reconstructive Hand and Microsurgery. I continued in this position until December 2017, when I resigned from John Hunter Hospital to concentrate on my work at Hand Surgery Centre, which are the private rooms of my practice. Hand Surgery Centre continues to give me the opportunity to manage all the dynamics of private practice including workers compensation, privately insured, DVA, third party and self funded patients.
I helped establish the only Hand and Microsurgical Fellowship in Newcastle, through which I helped to train Orthopaedic and Plastic Surgeons in the art of hand and microsurgery. This was done through both the John Hunter Hospital and Hand Surgery Centre. 
My ongoing commitment and goal is to ensure the highest level of care and skill is delivered to all my patients. I manage this by providing a full and comprehensive treatment option through my private practice for all Hand and microsurgical conditions.
I maintain my professional standards through continuing medical education and remain a member of The Royal Australian college of surgeons, The NSW Hand Surgery Society and The Singapore Society for Surgery of the Hand.
I believe a person should feel passionate about their job and inspire those around them to become the best they can be.
