Northern Surgical Oncology

Dr Krishnan is proudly a member of this team, a leading centre for surgical care in Sydney

Northern Surgical Oncology (NSO) has proudly serviced the Upper North Shore area of Sydney for over 14 years. We offer patients expert individualised care in an empathetic and professional setting.

The Sydney Adventist Hospital (The San) is the ideal setting for such a service given that it is the largest private hospital in NSW and has comprehensive medical and diagnostic services available on site. 

Our Mission is to be recognised by the community, health professionals and health related groups as the premier surgical oncology service in the North and North West of Sydney (and beyond) by providing highly personalised medical care of the highest standard.

We want our patients to have the best experience they could possibly have while dealing with a health issue which, more often than not, will create a high level of anxiety and stress for the patient and their loved ones. This will be achieved through our holistic care of our patients as well as a highly efficient patient friendly system of practice management.

In addition to the clinical skills of the doctors at NSO the key features of NSO and its staff that are essential to achieve this goal are timeliness, preparedness, clear and positive communication and attention to detail in every action.

There is an imperative that NSO provides the doctors in the practice exceptional service to make their time at NSO as productive, safe and enjoyable as possible. NSO will manage and minimise patient, staff and medicolegal risk through adherence to carefully thought out policies and procedures.
