ABOUT CHRIS
Chris is a Hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB), Upper Gastrointestinal, and General Surgeon based in Canberra and Sydney.
​
He sub-specialises in complex oncological surgery of the liver, pancreas, gallbladder and bile ducts, as well as the full spectrum of general surgical conditions including gallstones and hernias. Chris' expertise also spans benign and malignant conditions of the stomach, oesophagus and small bowel. He offers endoscopic procedures (gastroscopy and colonoscopy), and favours minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to enable faster patient recovery.
​
In addition to his meticulous approach and technical excellence, patients and colleagues value Chris for his calm, warm presence, as well as his deep sense of responsibility towards his patients.
​
Chris is available for both public and private referrals, making every effort to see patients as soon as possible upon referral. Urgent referrals, including new cancers are seen within a week. Where helpful, Chris also speaks basic conversational Mandarin.
