Harbour Surgery Centre is a specialist service coordinated through Southern Cross Hospitals Northern Clinic on the North Shore. We offer consultation services, including urgent appointments, at multiple locations throughout Auckland and Northland.
Harbour Surgery Centre comprises three surgeons with specialist expertise in Upper GI and Liver/ Pancreas diseases as well as common general surgery problems.

We are national experts in minimally invasive (Laparoscopic/ Robotic) Surgery.
At Harbour Surgery Centre, our patients have a primary surgeon and will also have the safety of a team-based approach, 24/7 postoperative care and multidisciplinary input into therapeutic decision making.
