His practice includes children and adults, and the conditions he commonly treats are:

Ear disease (infections, hearing loss, tinnitus and their causes including perforations, surfer's ear, otosclerosis)

He has worked with the NHS for over twenty years and currently practices at the University Hospitals Dorset where he has held the head of department role. He is the co-author of surgical textbook chapters on rhinoplasty, nasal sinuses, and ear infections. His research into his areas of practice, as well as on voice and head and neck cancer, has been published in numerous peer-reviewed articles. His professional affiliations have included the European Society of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery, the European Rhinologic Society, and British counterparts.
