I have particular specialist skills in interventional pulmonology. I regularly run interventional pulmonology services such as Endo Bronchial Ultrasound (EBUS), Bronchoscopy, Thoracic USG guided Pleural procedures, Chest Drains and Indwelling Pleural Catheters.

My particular special interest is in thoracic oncology (Lung cancer, Mesothelioma, metastatic (secondary cancer spread in lung) cancers, and mediastinal tumors and I have broad experience in diagnosing and managing lung cancer through a multidisciplinary approach.
