I believe that good care starts with listening carefully and understanding what matters most to you. I take a thorough approach to assessment, bringing together your symptoms, examination and imaging where appropriate, and taking time to explain the findings clearly.

There is rarely a single right treatment for a gynaecological problem. I will explain the available options, including their potential benefits, risks and alternatives, and help you consider these in the context of your own priorities — whether these relate to symptoms, fertility, recovery, avoiding surgery or longer-term health.

My aim is for us to make decisions together, so that you leave your consultation with a clear understanding of your condition and a management plan that reflects your priorities.

A particular focus of my practice is providing a one-stop specialist assessment for endometriosis. Where appropriate, I can perform a specialist ultrasound scan myself, discuss the findings with you and formulate a management plan within the same appointment. This allows your symptoms, examination and imaging findings to be considered together from the outset, without necessarily requiring separate appointments for consultation and specialist scanning.

My background in fertility and reproductive medicine is an important part of how I approach gynaecological care. When considering treatment for endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts and other conditions, I take into account not only your current symptoms but also your fertility, future pregnancy plans and the potential reproductive implications of different treatments.

I am Clinical Lead of the BSGE-accredited Endometriosis Centre at St Michael’s Hospital, Bristol, where I lead a multidisciplinary service caring for patients with complex endometriosis. I am also work closely with specialist fibroid and fertility services. Nationally, I serve on the British Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (BSGE) Endometriosis Centres and Diagnostics Subcommittees, having previously served on its Guidelines and Patient Information Subcommittee. I am also actively involved in teaching and training and am regularly invited to speak at national and international meetings in my areas of specialist interest. I am a trustee and advisor to The Endometriois Foundation (www.theendometriosisfoundation.org).
