I completed my medical training at the University of Gujarat, Ahmedabad, India in 1970. After working in India for four years, I took up my first post in the United Kingdom in the Casualty Orthopaedics Department at Kilmarnock Infirmary, Scotland. Between 1975 - 1976, I worked as a Senior House Officer in the Urology/Gynaecology department at Ballockmyle Hospital also based in Ayrshire , Scotland.

In 1976 I moved to Royal Preston Infirmary as Senior House Officer in the Ophthalmology department where I worked until I began my General Practice training based at Roslea Surgery, Bamber Bridge, Preston.

In 1980, I became a G.P. Principal at Kingsfold Medical Centre where I have spent many happy years since.

In addition to my day-to-day activities as a General Practitioner, I have a special interest in Ophthalmology and taking care of the elderly. I have been working as a Clinical Assistant to a leading Ophthalmic Surgeon based at Chorley NHS Trust two afternoons each week, since 1985.

As a form of relaxation I enjoy music and cooking traditional Indian cuisine.
