Senior cardiac surgeon dedicated to leading adult cardiac surgery with strong team leadership.
What I'm looking for
I’m an experienced consultant cardiac surgeon with deep expertise in adult cardiac surgery, built over long-term practice and focused overseas fellowship training. I bring strong leadership and relationship-building skills to high-acuity surgical care.
In my current role as Head of the Department & Chief Consultant for Adult Cardiac Surgery, I guide complex patient management and departmental direction. Previously, I served as an Associate Professor & Senior Consultant and also completed one-year fellowships in Adult Cardiac Surgery focused on minimally invasive/aortic surgery and advanced cardiothoracic procedures.
I’m also an active contributor to medical literature, with publications spanning outcomes research and operative techniques such as tricuspid valve procedures, septal myectomy for HOCM, and coronary bypass studies. I’m motivated by high standards, continuous learning, and mentoring future surgeons.
