The specialist team is made up of experienced colorectal and upper gastrointestinal laparoscopic surgeons and physicians, including Michael Booth, Stephen Burmeister, Mike Hulme-Moir, Eva Juhasz, John Perry and Russell Walmsley.
This experienced team of endoscopists brings a combination of clinical knowledge and advanced international training to the centre. All of our team is committed to the North Shore/Waitakere region and based at Waitemata Specialist Centre. Patients can access a wide range of services backed up by the resources of a fully equipped hospital, with full confidence in the safety, and depth of capability involved.
Our team-based approach offers benefits for patients presenting more complex cases and – should they require theatre admission or anaesthetic support – this can also be more easily dealt with within the hospital facilities.
All our specialists have had international training and our work – in private and public healthcare – makes for a complete service for Gastrointestinal and Liver problems. Clinical interests within the group include Endoscopy, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Coeliac disease, Gastro-oesophageal reflux, pH monitoring, Liver diseases, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Motility problems, Nutrition and Pill Camera Endoscopy.
Endoscopy under general anaesthetic is available.
