Health & Wellbeing Health & Wellbeing More surgery options in Mona Vale Patients requiring day surgery will have more opportunity to undergo operations and procedures close to home in a newly rebuilt health facility in the heart of Mona Vale. After months of construction work, Pittwater Day Surgery is set to re-open in March with a new fresh look, more operating theatres, more services and state-ofthe-art equipment for local specialists and patients. Since 2002, more than 17,000 patients have visited the day surgery at 20 Bungan Street for ear, nose and throat, ophthalmology, plastic surgery, cosmetic surgery and dental operations. The expanded facility on the original site will be four times bigger (from 250m2 to 1000m2) and allow for other services including gastroenterology, urology and gynaecology surgery to be provided in the medical hub where more than 50 specialists are located. Features of the build included a complete refurbishment of the existing consulting rooms and waiting space and construction of a new day surgery with three operating theatres incorporating the latest technology and equipment. Pittwater Day Surgery Founder and CEO Dr Frank Elsworth said the new facilities ensured people on the Northern Beaches would continue to get the best in medical care with minimum need for residents to travel too far from home for day surgery or post-operative care. He explained specialists who consulted on the Northern Beaches were some of the best in NSW - very experienced surgeons and anaesthetists also operating at the top private hospitals such as The San, The Mater and North Shore Private. “Investing in this new facility in Mona Vale ensures all of the community can take advantage of staying in the local area under the care of their specialist of choice,” Dr Elsworth said. Pittwater Day Surgery is fully licensed with the NSW Department of Health, holds full ISO accreditation and is also accredited against the 10 National Quality Standards.
