MBChB(Natal), FCORL (SA)

I am a Specialist Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Surgeon with over two decades of experience in managing a comprehensive range of ENT conditions in both adults and children. I am currently based on Auckland’s North Shore, where I consult privately at the Lakeside Specialist Centre in Takapuna. In addition to my private practice, I serve as a Consultant ENT Surgeon within the Waitemata District Health Board.

Originally from Durban, South Africa, I relocated to New Zealand in December 2022 with a view to continuing my professional journey in a new healthcare environment. 

I completed my medical degree in 1997, and began my formal ENT training in 2004, qualifying as a specialist ENT surgeon in 2007.

My early career in South Africa’s public health system provided a robust foundation in ENT surgery. The high volume and wide spectrum of cases allowed me to develop extensive clinical and surgical expertise at an accelerated pace. I served as a consultant in the public sector until 2011, during which time I was also responsible for registrar and medical student training, and the clinical management of a busy ENT department in Durban.

From 2012 to 2022, I operated a thriving private practice at Entabeni Hospital in Durban, offering a full range of ENT services. During this time, I also received additional training in cochlear implantation - a transformative surgical intervention for people with profound hearing loss - and was privileged to offer this life-changing treatment to qualifying patients.

I believe that high-quality ENT care is built on compassion, scientific evidence, and clear communication. I take pride in offering a respectful, inclusive, and patient-centred approach, always striving for the best possible outcomes through tailored and collaborative care.

I enjoy spending time with my wonderful wife Seema, and my amazing sons. My precious free time is spent running, playing golf, learning and playing Indian musical instruments and gardening. 

It is a privilege to serve the Auckland community, and I look forward to supporting your health and well-being.
