Lee is a surgical specialist based at ARC in Auckland. He graduated from The Royal Veterinary College (RVC) in 2011 and spent 2 years working at a Charity small animal practice before completing his internship and residency at the RVC. He stayed on to become a lecturer before moving to Massey University to work as a senior lecturer in small animal surgery. He moved to Auckland to work in private practice in early 2023.
Lee has a keen interest in all aspects but particularly surgery oft tissue surgery and is passionate about passing on as much of his experience as he can. He particularly enjoys more complex abdominal surgeries and the challenge of managing large open wounds.
He moved from Palmerston North with his partner and two dogs. He tries to get to the gym a couple of times a week to offset his love of cake but since moving to Auckland he seems to be losing the battle.
Wound management and skin reconstruction is an everyday part of general practice, be it traumatic wounds or following tumour resection. Delegates will have plenty of opportunity to practice their surgical techniques in a wet lab setting giving them the confidence to utilise these skills in an everyday setting.
