Since graduating in Medicine from Sydney University in 1995, I have worked at various tertiary teaching hospitals in NSW including 3 years at Westmead Hospital and 5 years at Liverpool Hospital. I have been practicing full-time anaesthesia for over 16 years. Currently I am a Visiting Consultant Anaesthetist at Westmead Private Hospital, St George Private Hospital, Hurstville Private Hospital, and Campbelltown Public & Private Hospitals. My current scope of anaesthetic practice encompasses many disciplines including emergency surgery, obstetrics & gynaecology, orthopaedics & trauma, urology, eye surgery, and general surgery including paediatrics. However, my most prominent area of anaesthetic practice is with Dr Durmush in bariatric obesity surgery (sleeve gastrectomy, gastric-banding and gastric-bypass). Surgery and Anaesthesia is often a stressful time of high anxiety and apprehension. My professional motto is “First do no harm”, hence patient safety is of utmost importance in my practice. Amongst other things, patient satisfaction is also of paramount importance. I aim to provide a comfortable experience for the patient by providing adequate pain relief and preventing nausea and vomiting. Unfortunately, in medicine as in life, occasionally things don’t always go to plan, despite our best efforts. Complications do occur in anaesthesia, although very rarely, and Australia is one of the safest countries in the world to have anaesthesia. Most complications are minor, however, even with rare complications, with experience and expertise these complications can be well managed to ensure a complete and speedy recovery. By sticking to the above principle of maintaining patient safety and satisfaction in the highest regard, I hope to allay your fears and ensure a positive experience through your life-changing journey. If you have any questions regarding the anaesthesia, I will be happy to answer all your questions at the pre-operative consultation and provide the necessary reassurance prior to your anaesthetic.
