Our clinics
We run the following clinics:

As part of your preparation for surgery, you may be referred to our pre-anaesthetic clinic. We work closely with the surgeons and doctors to ensure that you are well prepared, and in the best of health, for your surgery. Together we will create an anaesthesia and pain management plan to ensure you recover from your surgery comfortably and safely.
