General Surgery
Gallbladder removal, hernia repair, and more using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques for faster recovery.
Specialist General Surgery and Endoscopy — Melbourne
Expert surgical care without the wait or hidden costs.
Free consultations through Medicare. Two specialist surgeons who can usually see you within two weeks and get things done by week four — because getting treated shouldn't take months, and going back to your life is what matters.
Comprehensive Surgical Services
Specialist care shouldn't be complicated or costly.
Our practice was founded on a simple idea — every patient deserves an experienced specialist who listens, explains clearly, and works with you to find the best pathway forward.
We are two specialist general surgeons who are also active consultants at Melbourne's leading public hospitals, where we teach and train the next generation of surgeons.
All consultations are bulk billed with no out-of-pocket costs for Medicare patients. Whether you hold private health insurance or not, we will find the right surgical pathway for you.
