Received his professional training at the London Hospital, where he was House Physician, House Surgeon, and Resident Accoucheur. He settled in practice at 9 King Street, Finsbury Square, EC, and then removed to 10 Goring Street, Houndsditch, EC, where he remained to the last. He was held in high esteem by his compatriots in Wales and London, and at the time of his death the Welsh Outlook said that there were "thousands of Welsh homes in London in which his devotion and skill would always be remembered and blessed. Had he not been a doctor he might have made an immortal name for himself in literature. The little he published appeared in out-of-the-way places, but those who read his work will never forget its distinction of form and substance." He died at Aberystwyth in the summer of 1920.
