Andrew is a specialist anaesthetist who joined Stace Anaesthetists in 2017. Originally from South Africa, he has acquired anaesthetic training and experience in South Africa, the United Kingdom, Isle of Man and Australia, achieving his specialist recognition in 2013 in Australia.

Andrew has a wide range of skills and experience enabling him to care for patients across all ages. He has further dedicated time towards developing his knowledge and experience in paediatric anaesthesia during a fellowship at the Women's and Children's Hospital in Adelaide. He is passionate about paediatric and regional anaesthesia and has a wide interest in multiple surgical specialties. These include Spinal and Neurosurgery, ENT, Head and Neck surgery, Urology, Robotic surgery and Lymphoedema surgery.

Outside of his professional commitments, Andrew enjoys spending time with his family. He is eager to provide and teach anaesthesia to those in developing countries.
