He has been not only my 'go to' scan interpreter and reporter, but also my 'go to' interventional radiologist for image guided injections. He has a great bedside manner, which puts patients quickly at ease for their injections. He works across a range of elite sporting professional clubs and organisations. It is my pleasure to recommend him.
