surgical assistants
This page has information regarding your Surgical Assistant.
For major surgical procedures, another medical practitioner is required to assist your primary surgeon. This is the role of the Surgical Assistant.
Typically, the Surgical Assistant's fee will be included in your quote and paid directly to them by your surgeon. In the event that this differs you will be informed by your primary surgeon's reception staff. Please familiarise yourself with our Surgical Assistants below.
