I have the privilege of being both a Paediatric General Surgeon and a Paediatric Urologist.
During my training as an adult General Surgeon, I rotated through a busy paediatric Burns unit. It was here that I discovered that I really enjoyed working with children. What appealed to me was their positive attitude, strength and resilience, while the technically exacting surgery they required appealed to the perfectionist in me. As soon as I qualified, I applied for subspecialist training and became a Paediatric Surgeon in 2006. A fellowship in Paediatric Urology at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto followed in 2008. I know, I have an uncommon combination of skills that that gives me the unique ability to treat a wide variety of childhood surgical problems.
I have been married to my wife Ceiri for 16 years. We live on the North Shore but spend most of our working days at Westmead Children’s Hospital. We have three great kids with very different strengths and personalities. As a parent of a child who required surgery, I have first-hand experience of the stress and anxiety that the prospect of an operation on a child induces. Strangely, I also appreciate the unique insight that the journey has given me…. I like to think my experience has made me a more empathetic Surgeon.
Most of the children I see will not need a surgical intervention. In many instances, I will be able to reassure you that the “problem” is a variant of normal. If surgery is required, I will endeavour to give you and your child, a good understanding of the problem, the surgery required, and which Hospital would be best for your child and the surgery they require.
I enjoy questions and they are always welcome.
