His professional timeline begins in 2004 and includes progressively specialised surgical training followed by consultant-level neurosurgical practice.

His qualifications include MRCS (UK), DNB in General Surgery, FMAS, CNMT (USA) and MCh in Neurosurgery. He also completed fellowship training in brain and spine neuroendoscopy and spine surgery, including international fellowship exposure in Japan in 2019. This training supports work across cranial, spinal and minimally invasive neurosurgical procedures.

Royal Care documents continuing academic activity in spine surgery, neuroendoscopy and functional neurosurgery. Recent presentations listed by the hospital include MR-guided focused ultrasound for essential tremor and tremor-dominant Parkinsonism, alongside work relating to endoscopic and spine techniques. His profile also records journal publications and participation in neurosurgical meetings through 2025.

Patients seeking an opinion should provide current MRI or CT imaging, neurological examination records, previous operative notes and pathology reports when relevant. For tremor or functional-neurosurgery assessment, medication history and prior neurological evaluation are particularly important. The choice between open, endoscopic, spinal or functional procedures depends on anatomy, diagnosis and neurological status, and should be determined after specialist review of the original imaging. Previous rehabilitation and treatment-response records may also guide planning.
