  Mr Andrew Bowker

  General and Laparoscopic Surgeon

It is usual for you to be referred to your surgeon by your general practitioner. The surgeon will ask questions about your condition and examine you. Further investigations (blood tests, x-rays, endoscopy) may be requested. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, treatment will be discussed. If surgery is indicated, you can expect a full explanation of what is involved and a quote/estimate of costs will be provided.

You will have your consultation with Mr Bowker and your surgical procedure carried out at Laparoscopy Auckland.
