Professional Profile
George is a New Zealand trained urologist. He was raised in Christchurch and attended medical school in Dunedin. Following post-graduate urology training in New Zealand and Australia he completed a 12-month dedicated uro-oncology fellowship at the University of British Columbia and Vancouver Prostate Centre in Vancouver, Canada. He also undertook additional post-fellowship training in robotic surgery through Macquarie University Hospital in Sydney, observership at Keck Hospital USC in Los Angeles and with Dr Jim Porter in Seattle.
George, his wife Jane, and their three children returned to Christchurch to enjoy the lifestyle that having the mountains and the sea on your doorstep can provide.
Prior to formal urology training, George worked in Christchurch in general practice and both urology and non-urology junior doctor roles at Christchurch Hospital. He is motivated to work in a health system he views as one of the most innovative and collaborative in Australasia. George is excited to bring a wide-ranging training experience home and provide world class, patient-centred care.
