I perform a range of breast surgery procedures in Tauranga, from removing benign lesions to the surgical management of breast cancer. As a female breast surgeon, I have a unique appreciation of the anxiety caused by the development of breast symptoms or the diagnosis of breast cancer. I strive to deliver the best surgical outcomes for my patients offering empathetic, personalised care to achieve optimal surgical and cosmetic results.
