Did you know we have on-site ultrasound available for endocrine consultations?

Christine (Chris) O’Neill is an experienced Endocrine Surgeon specialising in thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal surgery. She provides comprehensive assessment and management of a wide range of endocrine conditions.

All referrals are personally triaged by Dr O’Neill. Where clinically appropriate, patients may undergo on-site ultrasound and biopsy on the same day as their consultation. This streamlined approach can significantly reduce the need for multiple appointments — particularly benefiting those travelling from regional or rural areas (where appropriate and possible).

Advanced diagnostics, expert surgical care, and a patient-centred approach — all in one location.

For referrals or further information, please contact our rooms on 4947 8177 or you can go to www.surgerycentral.com.au.

Dr O'Neill also has her own website https://drchrisoneill.com

On World Obesity Day, we recognise that obesity is a complex, chronic condition — not simply a number on the scales, and never a measure of worth.

At Surgery Central, we believe surgery is a powerful tool — but lasting success comes from embracing long-term lifestyle change. Weight loss surgery is not the end point; it’s one part of a lifelong commitment to improved health, wellbeing and sustainable habits.

Weight loss surgeons Dr Costa Karihaloo and Dr Suzanne Di Sano are committed to evidence-based care, compassion, and supporting every patient on their individual journey toward better health.

It’s more than just a number on the scales.

Our medical-grade SECA Body Composition Scanner is now available to everyone — not just patients undergoing weight loss surgery.

This advanced technology provides a detailed breakdown of:
• Body fat percentage
• Visceral fat
• Muscle mass
• Body water
• Metabolic rate
• Segmental muscle distribution

Understanding your body composition allows you to track real progress — whether your goal is weight loss, muscle gain, improving metabolic health, or simply staying accountable.

Because true health isn’t defined by weight alone.

If you already have an upcoming appointment, our nursing team can perform your scan while you’re here or contact us on 49478177 to book a dedicated scan appointment.

We also welcome any referrals from local GPs, specialists, gyms, nutritionists and personal trainers who would like access to accurate, medical-grade body composition data for their clients and patients.

📞 Take the guesswork out of your health and start measuring what truly matters.
