Patient focused care
I strongly believe in an individualised, evidence-based approach to patient care with an emphasis on open communication with patients and their entire care team in conjunction with surgical excellence. I take the time to listen to my patients specific concerns and explain the reasoning behind my assessment and treatment recommendations, as I believe communication and understanding is an important part of patient care and optimal patient outcomes. I endeavour to work in collaboration with all my patients, their general practitioners and allied health professionals to enhance patient outcomes. You can expect that your patients will have a clear explanation of their condition and management recommendations and that you will be kept well informed of their progress in a timely manner whilst under my care. I am always happy to be contacted directly with any patient concerns or queries.
