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.

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).
