I am a GP who works in a large South London NHS GP Surgery. I have lived and studied in Wimbledon all my life and understand the needs and wants of people who live in the area. I qualified from a nearby University – St Georges Hospital Medical School. My wife too is a local GP and I have 2 children who school in Wimbledon.
I have worked in Hospital Medicine for many years and accumulated a lot of experience before becoming a General Practitioner.
My wish and aim for The GP Surgery is to provide the highest quality of primary care and allow you to always feel that you are listened to and not judged.
I am here to facilitate your maintenance of a healthy mind and body and promise to always have your welfare as my priority.
