Experienced, Local and Professional.

Experience is important in surgery.  Although operations may be performed the same, people respond differently and surgeons need to be able to adapt to these individual problems, both at operations and in the recovery period.  Having the experience of managing thousands of previous cases enables me to help guide my patients through these complex decisions.

Letter to patients from Dr. John Hansen

I have been lucky enough to call the Sunshine Coast home for 20 years.  I have raised my family here and I have seen the community grow and prosper. 

In my working life here, I have had the privilege of being able to help people through some of the toughest periods of their lives.  I have seen incredible feats of courage, determination and kindness.  I have had the opportunity to work with some brilliant colleagues. 

Experience is important in surgery.  Although operations may be performed in an identical manner, people respond differently and surgeons need to be able to adapt to these individual problems, both at the time of the operation and in the recovery period.  Having the experience of managing thousands of previous cases enables me to help guide my patients through these complex decisions.

Any operation big or small is a major life event.  I recognise the trust people put in my hands and always endeavour to care for my patients with the skill, concern and empathy which I would expect if one of my own family were undergoing surgery.
