Overview:
I provide Expert Witness & Medicolegal Services in:
General ophthalmology including cataract surgery
Oculoplastic (eyelid) and Lacrimal (tear duct) conditions
Profile:
I am a Bond-Solon trained expert witness with a Masters in Law from the University of London (UCL/Queen Mary) with Merit. I have over 10 years experience in the specialty.
I pride myself on delivering timely, reasoned, logical, and thorough medical reports. I act for both defendants and claimants.
In addition to my clinical and medicolegal work, I hold leadership roles in medical education, serving as Medical Student Lead for my department for UEA and ARU Universities. I am also an invited speaker at public events. These experiences have honed my ability to explain complex medical matters clearly and effectively — a skill essential in preparing high-quality medicolegal reports and confidently addressing questions from legal counsel during cross-examination.
I am happy to provide expert opinion in most areas of ophthalmic practice.
Scope of service:
I will accept instructions as an Expert Witness in General Ophthalmology, but have a special interest in cataract surgery, trauma and eyelid surgery including cosmetic surgery such as blepharoplasties.
I aim to provide timely, reasoned, logical, and thorough reports, which can be fully CPR/Court Compliant, or screening reports, according to my instructions.
