Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live.
Facing the prospect of cardiac surgery—whether for yourself or a loved one—can be an overwhelming experience. With more than four thousand cardiac operations performed personally, I understand the importance of receiving clear, reliable guidance on what procedure is most appropriate and where it should be carried out.
As Head of Cardiothoracic and Transplant Surgery at Fiona Stanley Hospital in Perth, I oversee a highly specialised team dedicated to providing the full spectrum of adult cardiac and thoracic surgery. Every patient presents with a unique combination of clinical factors, and each condition deserves an individualised treatment strategy. My aim is to explain complex diseases and surgical options in a straightforward and accessible manner, ensuring you fully understand the benefits, risks, and alternatives.
Rather than offering elaborate graphics or promotional material, my focus is on thoughtful, evidence-based advice and a personal consultation. I am experienced in performing the most demanding procedures, including coronary artery bypass surgery, valve repair and replacement, aortic surgery, minimally invasive approaches, mechanical circulatory support, and heart and lung transplantation.
I welcome both first and second-opinion assessments and can provide consultations in person or virtually, depending on your needs. Please feel free to contact me at your convenience so we can discuss the most suitable path forward for your care.
