A Collaborative Centre of Excellence in Breast Care

Eastern Suburbs Breast Centre brings together an exceptional team of dedicated breast surgeons and specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeons, united by a shared commitment to delivering world-class breast cancer care in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. 

Our centre was founded on a simple but profound belief: that women navigating a breast cancer diagnosis deserve seamless, expert, and deeply human care — from the moment of diagnosis through to recovery and reconstruction. Ours is not a newly formed alliance — our surgeons have worked alongside one another for many years, across both the public and private sectors, building the kind of collegial trust and clinical shorthand that only comes with time. By combining the expertise of oncological breast surgery with the technical precision and reconstructive skill of specialist plastic surgery, we offer our patients a truly integrated pathway — one that addresses not only the disease, but the whole person.

Our five founding specialists bring together decades of collective experience across both the public and private sectors. We hold joint appointments at Prince of Wales Hospital and the Royal Hospital for Women in Randwick - two of Sydney’s most respected public teaching hospitals - and maintain private consulting and operating privileges at leading private hospitals throughout the Eastern Suburbs.

Expert Care, Close to Home 

Choosing where to receive breast cancer care is one of the most important decisions a patient and her family will make. Here is why our patients choose us.

  • We Know Each Other - and We Know Our Patients

    Our team has worked together for many years. That means when your case is discussed, when your surgery is planned, and when your care is coordinated, you benefit from a group of specialists who communicate openly, trust each other’s judgement, and are genuinely invested in your outcome as a team — not as individuals operating in isolation.

  • We Live and Work in Your Community

    Our surgeons are based in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. We work locally, we live locally, and we are deeply connected to the community we serve. For patients facing a breast cancer diagnosis, being able to access world-class surgical care close to home — close to family, close to familiar surroundings — makes an already difficult journey meaningfully easier.

  • Private Expertise, Available to You

    All five of our surgeons hold appointments at two of Sydney’s leading public teaching hospitals. This keeps us at the forefront of evidence-based practice, clinical research, and multidisciplinary care. We bring that same standard of excellence to our private practice, with operating privileges across leading private hospitals throughout the Eastern Suburbs. Whatever your circumstances, you have access to a team working at the highest level.

  • Transparency Around Costs

    We believe every patient deserves to understand the financial aspects of their care before making any decisions. We are committed to clear, upfront communication about surgical fees, out-of-pocket costs, and what to expect from Medicare and private health insurance. We will always take the time to walk you through your individual cost estimate so there are no surprises — because managing uncertainty is hard enough without financial ambiguity adding to it.

  • Seamless, Coordinated Care

    From your first consultation through to surgery, recovery, and reconstruction, your care is coordinated within our centre. You will not need to navigate multiple disconnected referrals or repeat your story to unfamiliar faces at every turn. Our team communicates closely, plans together, and ensures continuity at every step of your journey
