Dr Ben Dodd is a Brisbane born and trained Laparoscopic Upper GI and Bariatric Surgeon. He performs large volumes of anti-reflux and bariatric procedures, in addition to gallbladder and hernia repair surgery. Dr Dodd is motivated by great surgical outcomes and the transformation of patients’ lives through safe weight loss surgery. He ensures patients have the best surgical experience through a strong focus on attention to detail and Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS).
