I provide a comprehensive range of general surgical procedures, drawing on over six years of hands-on experience in diverse clinical settings. My approach prioritises meticulous surgical technique, thorough pre-operative planning, and attentive post-operative monitoring to ensure the best possible outcomes.

  • Routine elective procedures (neutering, dental extractions)
  • Mass and tumour removals with histopathological submission
  • Wound management and reconstructive techniques
  • Exploratory laparotomy
  • Gastrointestinal foreign body removal
  • Orthopaedic assessment and referral coordination

My Approach

Every surgical case begins with a thorough assessment and clear communication with the referring clinic.

Specialist Area

Soft Tissue Surgery

Soft tissue surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures involving the body's organs, skin, and internal structures. This is an area where I have developed particular expertise, managing complex cases that demand precision and a deep understanding of anatomy and tissue handling.

Procedures & Capabilities

  • Splenectomy and organ resection
  • Hepatic and biliary surgery
  • Urogenital procedures (cystotomy, urethrostomy)
  • Respiratory tract surgery (brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome correction)
  • Oncological surgery and staging biopsies
  • Reconstructive and skin flap procedures
  • Ear surgery (total ear canal ablation, lateral wall resection)

Why This Matters for Clinics

Having reliable access to a surgeon experienced in soft tissue procedures means your clinic can offer a wider range of in-house services, reducing the need to refer patients to distant specialist centres. This benefits both the animals and their owners through reduced stress, faster treatment, and continuity of care.

Emergency Surgery

Emergency Surgery

Emergency surgical cases demand rapid decision-making, calm expertise, and the ability to manage unpredictable clinical scenarios. My experience in emergency settings has honed my ability to assess, stabilise, and operate on critical patients efficiently and effectively.

Cases Handled

  • Gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV) correction
  • Traumatic wound repair and management
  • Internal haemorrhage and haemoabdomen
  • Intestinal obstruction and intussusception
  • Pyometra and reproductive emergencies
  • Urinary obstruction requiring surgical intervention
  • Diaphragmatic hernia repair

My Emergency Approach

In emergency situations, clear protocols and rapid communication are vital. I work closely with clinic teams to establish efficient workflows, ensuring that patients receive the fastest possible surgical intervention. Post-operatively, I provide detailed handover notes and follow-up recommendations to support ongoing intensive care.

I understand the pressures emergency cases place on clinic teams and aim to be a reliable, responsive partner when critical surgical support is needed.

Core Expertise

Small Animal Surgery

My primary clinical focus is on feline and canine patients. Small animal surgery requires an understanding of species-specific anatomy, physiology, and the unique challenges presented by different breeds and age groups. I bring this expertise to every case, from routine procedures to complex interventions.

Procedures & Capabilities

  • Canine and feline elective surgery
  • Breed-specific surgical considerations (brachycephalic, large breed)
  • Geriatric patient surgical management
  • Paediatric surgical cases
  • Oncological surgery in cats and dogs
  • Complex wound management and reconstruction

Patient-Centred Care

Every patient is an individual, and my surgical planning reflects this. I take into account the patient's age, breed, overall health status, and the owner's expectations when developing surgical plans. This individualised approach ensures that treatment decisions are always in the best interest of the animal.

Working collaboratively with clinic teams, I ensure seamless integration into existing workflows, minimising disruption whilst providing the specialised surgical skills your patients need.
