“As a father of two young children, I recognise the distress that parents experience when their little ones are unwell, even in the event of minor medical or surgical conditions. I take a holistic approach when caring for children and endeavour to provide compassionate care for them and their families. My aspiration is to deliver the best treatment based on the latest research and technologies”.

"Wherever the art of medicine is loved, there is also a love of humanity“.

Hippocrates of Kos (c. 460 – c. 370 BC)
