His consultant gynaecological practice at the Bon Secours Hospital is centred on the investigation and management of subfertility and of menorrhagia. His personal involvement in ultrasonography, hysterosalpingography and laparoscopy assures his patients appropriate treatment, accurate diagnosis and continuity of care. The challenging fertility enhancing surgery he carries out for multiple fibroids and severe endometriosis is facilitated by the efficiency of the operating theatres at the Bons, and by the support of high calibre surgical and radiological consultant colleagues.
