About Us

Surgery of any form, whether minor or major, can be both brilliantly life-changing and quite daunting. We understand how difficult it can be to make the decision to go ahead with surgery, which is why at every turn Dr. Ek and our friendly staff are dedicated to giving you the information and advice you need to make the most educated decision possible.

While it’s possible to find an almost endless array of information on surgical procedures online these days, there’s no substitute for meeting your prospective surgeon and practice staff and having a compassionate, caring professional answer your questions and concerns.

Sharing advice and information, building trust and communicating openly are at the core of what Dr. Ek and his team aim to deliver to every patient.

Reviews

“Edmund is not only extremely professional, but also just an all round great guy! He got me into the Alfred when he didn’t have to, and to this day I believe (know) he made my life so much better, as I was finally diagnosed correctly after trying for 9 years, knowing something was desperately wrong with me, but no one could give me an answer. IF not for Edmund Ek who knows where I would be now! Thankyou!!”

“Ed is exceptional! This is the only word that describes him as a surgeon and in person. Meticulous, informative, personal, kind and clever, we are forever grateful to him.”

“Excellent Surgeon who has an amazing manner with my 5 year old son who has been his patient on a few occasions. Lovely staff in his Richmond rooms also who make Ollvers visits a more positive experience. Highly recommended.”
