General Surgery
Surgical Specialties
Dr. David Dalton is a highly skilled General Surgeon with over 20 years of experience serving the Shepparton community. Our practice provides a comprehensive range of surgical treatments, utilising both traditional methods and advanced laparoscopic (keyhole) techniques to ensure the best possible recovery for our patients.
We offer a professional, high-end medical environment where every procedure is backed by two decades of local expertise.
Advanced Laparoscopy
Whenever possible, we utilise laparoscopic surgery. This “keyhole” approach typically results in less post-operative pain, smaller scars, and a faster return to your daily activities.
● Laparoscopic Hernia Repairs: Specialised repair of inguinal and incisional hernias.
● Gallbladder Surgery (Cholecystectomy): Expert removal of the gallbladder, often performed laparoscopically.
● Fundoplication: Advanced surgical treatment for chronic reflux.
Oncology & Cancer Surgery
Dr. Dalton provides surgical intervention and multidisciplinary care for various types of cancers.
● Breast Cancer Treatment: Compassionate surgical care and management.
● Bowel & Colonic Resections: Surgical treatment for bowel and rectal cancers.
● Thyroid Surgery: Specialised procedures for thyroid conditions and cancers.
Skin Cancer Surgery
With a focus on early detection and precise removal, we offer comprehensive skin services.
● Skin Checks: Professional assessments to monitor and identify suspicious lesions.
● In-Room Procedures: Minor skin cancer removals performed safely under local anaesthetic in our Shepparton rooms.
● In-Hospital Procedures: More complex or larger surgeries performed in a hospital setting for optimal safety.
Your Consultation
Most general surgical procedures require a referral from your GP. During your initial consultation, Dr. Dalton will thoroughly discuss your diagnosis, explain your surgical options, and answer any questions you may have about the procedure and recovery.
