About

I am a Hepatobiliary Surgeon, currently working at the Royal University Hospital, Saskatoon, Canada. I previously served as the assistant Program Director in General Surgery. My undergraduate training, General Surgery Residency and Hepatobiliary Fellowship were all completed in South Africa at the University of Cape Town prior to emigrating to Canada with my family in 2009.
