MB BS FANZCA PGDipEcho

Introduction:

I can understand if you feel some anxiety about the anaesthetic for your forthcoming procedure. Please be reassured that due to the extensive training of Australian anaesthetists in anaesthesia, pain control, resuscitation, intensive care and managing medical emergencies, there is no safer place in the world to have an anaesthetic than Australia.

I will be happy to answer any question you have when I meet you before the operation. My aim is for you to experience as little pain and discomfort as possible after the procedure.

To minimise the risks and possible side effects of anaesthetics, it is important that you understand and follow specific guidelines (outlined below) before and on the day of surgery. Many patients also appreciate learning about my background and the options for anaesthesia and pain relief after surgery.
