As a consultant rheumatologist with over 16 years of consultant grade experience, I treat all aspects of painful rheumatology conditions including gout, neck/back pain, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis and carpal tunnel syndrome.
In addition, I have a special interest in new osteoporosis treatments particularly, with injections six monthly or yearly, as appropriate.
I carried out extensive research at The Royal Free Hospital regarding scleroderma and the gastrointestinal tract. Other research projects included osteoporosis, vitamin D deficiency, gout and identification of early rheumatoid arthritis.
I was appointed as a consultant physician and rheumatologist at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in 1996 and honorary senior lecturer at Imperial College in 1997.
