Experience
I received my medical education at Maulana Azad Medical College in India, graduating in 1993. Following this, I pursued further training in the UK, culminating in my FRCS from the Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh in 2005. My specialist training in the South East Thames region provided me with invaluable experience at two renowned oesophagogastric cancer units. This experience has shaped my current practice and research interests. I have a particular passion for innovative resection techniques in oesophagogastric cancer treatment. Throughout my career, I’ve contributed significantly to my field through research, having authored over 25 publications and presentations. I am committed to advancing surgical techniques and patient care in upper gastrointestinal and general surgery.
