Specialist private consultations for aortic, arterial, venous and dialysis access conditions — delivered by a Birmingham Vascular Centre consultant with over 30 peer-reviewed publications and expertise in complex endovascular surgery.
I am a Consultant Vascular and Endovascular Surgeon at the Birmingham Vascular Centre, University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust — one of the UK's leading vascular units. With broad experience across complex aortic disease, dialysis access, peripheral arterial disease and advanced venous care, I offer private consultations for patients who want prompt, expert assessment without a long wait.
I hold a doctorate in medicine (MD), fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS Vascular), and have published over 30 peer-reviewed papers including work in the Journal of Vascular Surgery and Annals of Vascular Surgery. I serve as AV Access Lead and Educational Lead at Birmingham. I am also a native Arabic speaker, which allows me to consult in both English and Arabic.
