Jake moved to Darwin in 2015 for his medical internship then returned to Adelaide for pre-surgical training from 2016 to 2018. He was then accepted into the 5 year Ear, Nose & Throat Surgery program, completing the fellowship examination in 2022. Jake’s ENT training included 18 months of specialty pediatric ENT surgery at the Women’s & Children’s Hospital. Jake also completed a Masters of Philosophy (Surgery) in the areas of chronic sinusitis and chronic ear disease under the supervision of Professor PJ Wormald and Professor Eng Ooi. He received multiple academic awards* for his research during surgical training. Jake then travelled to London, Ontario, Canada for a 15 month fellowship in advanced head and neck oncology, microvascular reconstructive surgery and robotic surgery. During his fellowship Jake performed over 150 head and neck free flap reconstructions.

Jake treats a full range of general adult and paediatric ENT conditions. Jake's interests include sinus disorders, snoring and sleep, ear and hearing conditions, tonsillitis, swallowing and speech disorders.
