Educated at St Xavier's College, Bombay, graduated in medicine and surgery at Bombay University, and completed his training at Charing Cross Hospital, where he served as House Surgeon and Surgical Registrar. He returned to India in 1894 and practised at Goa until 1908, when he settled in Bangalore, and soon obtained an extensive practice. From 1915-1928 he was Surgeon to St Martha's Hospital. He died at Bangalore on December 23rd, 1928, leaving a widow, also in the medical profession, three sons, and three daughters. Whilst in England he gained a considerable reputation as a coach, and was so well liked that he received many tokens of appreciation from his teachers, fellow-students, and pupils. The Apostolic delegate in India - the Bishop of Mysore - referred to his death as a loss sustained by the whole diocese. He was skilful, genial, and sympathetic.
