I’m an experienced ophthalmologist with a special interest in medical retina and
cataract surgery. I began my medical journey at the University of Lagos, followed by a residency in ophthalmology that started at the Eye Foundation Hospital in Lagos. This path led to a clinical fellowship at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, part of the Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust.
I now work at the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in Scotland—a role I truly enjoy and find deeply rewarding.
I believe every patient interaction is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference. With that in mind, I stay up to date with the latest advances in the field, maintain a strong attention to detail, and approach both diagnosis and surgery with care and precision. My dedication to surgery stems from a genuine love for the work, which I believe is reflected in the outcomes I strive to achieve.
