Kia ora, I am an Otolaryngologist, Head and Neck Surgeon (ENT), born and raised in Northland. I gained my fellowship with the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS) in 2013.

I have been the clinical director of Otolaryngology at Northland District Health Board, co-ordinating public ENT care for Northland. I am a national training and educational committee member supervising our future ENT surgeons. I have skills in all areas of ENT care. Vanessa and I look forward to meeting you in our Whangarei ENT clinic.
