OUR PRACTICE

Our practice is built on a foundation of specialist surgical excellence, academic rigour, and a genuine commitment to the long-term wellbeing of every patient. Led by Dr Robert George — one of Sydney's most credentialed soft tissue and general surgeons — we offer a level of clinical depth, procedural range, and personalised care that is genuinely rare in a single practice.

Dr Robert George is a Board-Certified Specialist Surgeon holding fellowship qualifications in Breast Surgery, Surgical Oncology, Emergency Surgery, and Melanoma, Sarcoma and Endocrine Surgery. His career represents one of the most comprehensive surgical training pathways available in Australia — spanning academic medicine, international research, and clinical sub-specialisation across multiple elite institutions.

Dr George completed Medical School in 2007 as the University Medallist — the highest academic distinction awarded to a graduating medical cohort. Following graduation, he undertook broad clinical experience across multiple specialties before committing to surgical training based at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney, one of Australia's foremost teaching hospitals.

During his surgical training, Dr George completed a Masters of Surgery and was awarded a competitive Scientific PhD through a research appointment in Stockholm, Sweden in 2017 — demonstrating a commitment to advancing surgical knowledge at the highest international level. He was awarded his Fellowship by the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS) in 2020.

Following his FRACS, Dr George completed three additional sub-specialty fellowships — in Emergency Surgery, Breast Surgery, and Melanoma, Sarcoma and Endocrine Surgery — at Royal North Shore Hospital, the Melanoma Institute of Australia, and Prince of Wales Hospital respectively. Each fellowship represents a distinct and demanding area of surgical expertise, and collectively they underpin the exceptional breadth of conditions Dr George is qualified to assess and treat.

Dr George maintains an active academic appointment as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Sydney Medical School, where he contributes to the education of the next generation of Australian surgeons. He also serves as a Board Examiner for the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons — a position reserved for surgeons of recognised expertise and standing within the profession.

His commitment to research is ongoing. Dr George participates in medical research that spans surgical oncology, soft tissue surgery, and clinical outcomes — ensuring that his practice remains informed by the most current evidence and that his patients benefit from the latest advances in surgical care.

Despite the breadth and complexity of his surgical training, Dr George is known above all for the quality and character of his patient relationships. He believes that the best surgical outcomes are inseparable from clear communication, honest counsel, and a genuine investment in each patient's long-term wellbeing.

Every patient who comes to our practice receives personalised, evidence-based care delivered within a framework of transparency and trust. Dr George takes the time to ensure each patient understands their condition, their options, and the reasoning behind every recommendation. He does not apply a template — he applies judgement, shaped by years of specialist training and a genuine respect for the individual in front of him.

For aesthetic patients, this philosophy extends to a structured, goal-oriented approach to care. In collaboration with our Dermal Clinician, Renee, Dr George ensures that every aesthetic patient receives a comprehensive clinical assessment report — a personalised, written plan that maps out their treatment journey, expected outcomes, and full cost transparency from the very first consultation.
