Our surgical faculty

Four department leads, each credentialed at internationally recognized teaching hospitals, sharing one operative standard across two campuses.

Credentialing Standard

Every surgeon at Medovara completes the same review process

Before treating a single patient, every member of our surgical faculty undergoes primary-source verification of medical education, residency and fellowship training, followed by a peer review panel and a probationary case-review period. Privileges are renewed every two years against documented outcomes.

In Their Words

How our surgeons approach patient care

"A hernia repair is a routine procedure for me. For the patient, it is not routine at all — I try never to forget that distinction during a consultation."

Dr. Dave Arthur, Head of General Surgery

"Cardiac surgery outcomes are decided as much in the weeks before the operation as during it. Pre-operative preparation is not a formality in our department."
