Our Specialties

Our Surgical Specialties

Our highly credentialed medical team span 14 specialities, enabling Camden Surgical Hospital to offer excellent treatment and care for most short-stay surgical procedures.

Anaesthetists

At Camden Surgical Hospital we perform many surgical procedures that require anaesthesia, so having highly trained anaesthetists is very important to ensure the safety of patients. Anaesthetists have a vital role in assessing and monitoring patients before, during and after their surgery.

Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery) focuses on the surgical treatment of obesity when conventional treatment options seem not to be effective.

Camden Surgical Hospital offers bariatric surgery at a highly competitive rate for self-funded patients. Please contact us on 02 9071 0090 during business hours to obtain a quote and details on our flexible payment options. Of course, we also cater for privately insured patients.
