I have spoken to several surgeons, both in Sydney, central coast and Newcastle but non stood out like Dr Simon GHOSH. His professionalism, knowledge, advice and ease of contact made me feel extremely confident. His honesty and professional advice were correct. The surgery was a success and the follow up treatment better than I ever expected. I was never let down. Surgery date 16/12/2020. Cannot recommend enough. Even if you’re not sure if its for your, speak to him and get some informed information. You won’t regret it. Thankyou Dr GHOSH, you saved my life.

One of the main reason why I wanted the surgery was to increase my chance of starting a family. 13 months post op 59kg down and I am 12 weeks pregnant with our first baby a little girl. Anyone that is thinking about have the surgery just make an appointment to see Simon you won’t regret it 😊

Dr Ghosh is the most genuine and caring specialist I have ever come across. I saw 2 other specialists before I meet with him and I’m so glad I decided to get that “third opinion”. I walked out of Dr Ghosh’s room feeling extremely informed and secure in my decision. Out of the 3 specialists I saw Dr Ghosh was the only one who went through everything in detail and took the time to answer any questions I had. The surgery went well and I have had zero complications since then. Highly recommended!!

Recent surgery for gallstones at Gosford Private. I needed a further procedure and Dr Ghosh was able to arrange for it to be carried out the next day. Everything went well. Dr Ghosh saw me each morning of my admission and was thorough in his explanations of my condition and treatment. Dr Ghosh’s bedside manner is personable and sincere and evokes confidence in his knowledge and ability. Absolutely recommend Dr Ghosh.
Update: One month later I had bariatric surgery (sleeve) and six months down the road I couldn’t be happier. It’s a journey, but a worthy one and I’ve been well supported
