He holds Master's degrees in ultrasound and cryosurgery for Morton's neuroma and has specialised in the condition for over 25 years. He has successfully treated 1000's of patients with Morton's neuroma.

Ron has held specialist NHS posts at Guys and St Thomas' and Lewisham Hospitals.

He continues to lecture both on the national and international circuit and helped to develop podiatry in the Middle East, particularly in relation to the surgical management of the diabetic foot. He is a senior lecturer in ultrasound studies at Bournemouth University Centre for Ultrasound Studies.

The essential relationship between conditions of the foot and abnormalities in gait (walking and running) has led him to build a state of the art gait laboratory at The London Podiatry Centre. This is one of the most advanced, dedicated podiatric gait analysis facilities in the world today and allows for the accurate diagnosis of many types of injury.

Most recently, Ron has been a professional expert and advisor for the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in relation to the management of Morton’s neuroma. NICE is the key organisation that guides both NHS and private medicine and has acquired a high reputation internationally as a role model for the development of clinical guidelines. Ron has acted as an expert both in relation to ablative radiofrequency, and most recently in June 2022, he was an expert in providing guidance on the use of cryosurgery for the management of Morton’s neuroma.
