Experienced ENT surgical care for Northland
Dr David Waterhouse
MBChB, FRACS
Kia ora, I’m an Otolaryngologist, Head and Neck Surgeon (ENT), born and raised here in Northland. I completed my specialist training and became a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS) in 2013, followed by advanced fellowship training in Auckland and Yorkshire through the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. This gave me additional expertise in complex ear, nasal, and neck surgery.
I have served as Clinical Director of Otolaryngology at Northland District Health Board, leading ENT services for our region, and continue to play an active role in training and supervising the next generation of ENT surgeons through national committees.
I provide care across the full range of ENT conditions, from straightforward issues to highly complex surgery. Together with Vanessa, I look forward to welcoming you to our Whangārei clinic and providing high-quality, patient-centred care for our community
