 Tim graduated from Medicine at Sydney University in 1988. He initially trained as an Infectious Diseases Physician, and spent time as an Infectious Diseases registrar in Darwin, where treatment of leprosy patients reignited a prior interest in hand surgery.  He started his general surgical career in 1998, and subsequently specialised in Plastic Surgery.

Tim has been the Director of the Sydney Hospital Hand Surgery Unit (2010-2015), where he continues to work, and to teach Plastic Surgery and Orthopaedic surgical trainees.
