Surgical Services

Surgical services operate at Alpine Health on the 1^st Tuesday & 3^rd Wednesday of the month. Alternating visiting specialists are Mr Matthew Shears, General Surgeon with Dr Phil MacLeish, General Physician for endoscopic procedures.

Specialities include general minor surgery, gastro intestinal endoscopy.

Alpine Health is a small rural health service, therefore we are limited as to what and whom we perform surgery on. Patients who have a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 40 will not be able to have any form of sedation anaesthetic. Any person who has concurrent medical problems may not be appropriate to have surgery at Alpine Health.

Most procedures performed are minor and day stay procedures.
