RESUME
I am a specialist surgeon in private practice in Cape Town. I qualified as doctor in 1984 and completed the specialist training in surgery in 1993. I have been in practice since 1994 at the N1 City Hospital.
I have been an executive Council member of the South African Society of Endoscopic surgeons since 1999 and currently serve as the Honorary President. I am a national proctor for Bariatric surgery training in South Africa.
My special interests are Laparoscopic surgery, Bariatric surgery, and vascular surgery. Together with Dr Etienne Swanepoel we run a Bariatric service in the Northern suburbs of Cape Town.
I started with Obesity surgery in 1994 and with laparoscopic bariatric surgery in 2002. I am pleased to be involved with this field of surgery since it is rare to be involved with a technique that alters people’s lives as drastically as obesity surgery does. This work is obviously done as part of a team of experts in the field of obesity.
