Surgery

Dr Guazzo and Dr Anderson work within a surgical team at the Townsville Mater Hospital. This includes theatre staff, anaesthetists and an assistant surgeon. Information regarding your anaesthetist and assisting surgeon will be given to you as part of the surgical information package you receive.

If you require a surgical procedure, it is necessary to prepare for this.

Dr Guazzo and Dr Anderson operate privately at The Mater Hospital Townsville. If you do not live in Townsville, you will need to make arrangements to travel to Townsville.
