A private specialist surgery practice with clinics in Gisborne, at 14 Rutene Road in Kaiti, and in Remuera, Auckland. It was founded in 2009 by Dr Rick Cirolli, a general and laser surgeon with more than 30 years of experience.
The practice offers minor and major surgery, including hernia surgery, laser treatment for haemorrhoids, pilonidal sinus and anal fistula, and varicose vein treatment. Endoscopy, skin cancer clinic services and PRP cosmetic treatment are also listed. Non-surgical weight loss and the Allurion gastric balloon are offered too.
Consultations are by appointment in both Gisborne and Auckland. Telephone consultations are available for suitable patients, when it is clinically appropriate. Booking is direct, and no referral is needed.
The website says the practice's aim is better health outcomes through education, innovation and patient-focused care. Some treatments are offered only through Dr Cirolli himself.
Gisborne can be reached on 06 868 9595, and Auckland on 09 399 2844.
Our pick in Gisborne for a patient who wants a specialist surgeon close to home rather than a trip to Auckland.
