Specialist Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon caring for patients in Sydney & on the Central Coast.
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon
I am a Specialist Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon and a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. I completed my medical degree in Sydney at the University of New South Wales and also completed a Masters of Surgery at the University of Sydney.
Whether a procedure is a reconstructive procedure or aesthetic procedure, the principles of my practice are the same; and that is to treat each patient as I would like to be treated.
I have subspecialty training in microsurgery and autologous breast reconstruction (DIEP flap) as well as aesthetic surgery of the breast and body. I find that these two components of my practice complement each other and optimise patient outcomes.
Outside of the operating room I am involved in teaching future plastic surgeons and research. I frequently attend national and international conferences to ensure I am up to date with the most recent techniques and technological advances in the field.
I reside in Sydney and live an active lifestyle with my wife and three children. In our spare time we hit the outdoors and enjoy surfing, skiing and the Australian countryside.
