She has a strong commitment to making a difference for life to her patients.<\/h1>\n

Dr Ma has trained extensively in NSW and Queensland hospitals, including at the St George Bariatric Centre of Excellence, currently Australia\u2019s only centre of excellence for bariatric surgery. She completed fellowship training in bariatrics, with a focus on revisional and endoscopic weight loss surgeries. Dr Ma has attended fellowships overseas with world-renowned pioneering bariatric surgeons, including Dr Bruno Dillemanns in Belgium. She has been an invited speaker\u00a0on her special interest of revisional bariatrics at national and international conferences.

Dr Ma combines a compassionate approach towards patients with excellent technical and medical skills. She cares deeply about her patients\u2019 outcomes. She embraces a holistic multi-disciplinary care approach, featuring close follow-up with herself, dieticians, exercise physiologists and psychologists. Dr Ma provides exceptional quality of care for each and every one of her patients.<\/p>\n

Currently 80% of patients undergoing bariatric surgery are female, and as a woman, Dr Ma understands the extremely sensitive nature of the condition. She forms close, caring and trusting relationships with her patients.<\/p>\n
