Dr Stephen Adams

I am a specialist paediatric surgeon based in Hamilton, New Zealand. I have special interests in minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy, thoracoscopy, endoscopy etc) and am happy to manage a wide variety of common childhood surgical conditions. I see patients at the consulting suite in Anglesea Hospital.

Hospitals Practicing At: Anglesea Hospital, Southern Cross & Braemar Hospitals

Paediatric Surgery covers many different aspects of childhood illness. This list is not exhaustive but rather offers a guide to conditions I commonly treat;

• Hernia
• Undescended Testes
• Phimosis
• Tongue-tie in Breastfed babies
• Recurrent UTI
• Wetting
• Kidney problems (dilatation, scarring etc)
• Constipation
• Abdominal Pain
• Chest Wall anomalies
• Skin Lesions
• Gastro-oesophageal Reflux (including pH / Impedance testing)
• Coeliac Disease diagnosis
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease diagnosis

Fees are available on request.

Southern Cross (and some other) consultations are usually claimed directly from the insurance company, however some policy exclusions or excesses may apply.

We are happy to provide information to arrange insurance pre-approval when necessary.

Payment arranged by invoice after clinic visit with 14 day terms. (Bank transfer or Pay by PoLi is preferred, EFTPOS is available but attracts a 3% fee).

Persistent non-payment may result in details being passed to a collections agency, in that situation all charges are passed to the non-paying client.

I trained in Paediatric Surgery in the South-East of England and obtained my Fellowship from the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 2014. I am vocationally Registered as a Specialist Paediatric Surgeon by the Medical Council of New Zealand.

I am a member of the New Zealand Society of Paediatric Surgeons and the British Society of Paediatric Surgeons.
