He utilises modern surgical techniques, in combination with advanced anaesthetic care and patient specific post-operative rehabilitation. He performs state-of-the-art computer-assisted knee replacement surgery, and will be soon performing robotic assisted surgery.

He is married with three teenaged children. He is also proud of his Tongan/German heritage and sees himself as a role model for young Pasifika people.
