About us

Wellington Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is a private surgical practice in the centre of the capital. The two surgeons Wayne Gillingham and Kush Patel would like a third surgeon to join their team.  We provide the full range of surgery excluding malignancy and have the full range of inhouse equipment and staff for 3D digital planning and printing for implant and orthognathic surgery.  Jessica Buchanan is a visiting surgeon with a special interest in facial pain and oral medicine.  We share the premises with 3 dermatologists which works well.  Our practice is a cheerful enthusiastic place with high productivity and early adoption.

About you

We are looking for a surgeon that is keen to continue to develop their skills and contribute their talents to the group.  We both participate in on call and services at the local public hospital and would hope you would join us in building this service as well.  You will need NZ specialist registration.

Your week is flexible; likely 2-4 days of private practice. The majority of our minor surgery is done in one of our 3 on-site operating theatres mostly under IV sedation. You may choose to have 1 session a week for GA work at a local private hospital.  Then one day a week in the local public hospital system. Within our region there is high demand for Oral & Maxillofacial services so you can tailor your week to what works best for you.
