Dr David C Gotley

Dr David Gotley has changed my life since a fundoplication in 2015 by him and his team at the Mater. I cannot thank him enough and will be forever indebted to him for his great surgical skills and bedside manner. Thank you again. Ian Woodland Hervey Bay 2017

without any doubt, Dr David Gotley is a surgeon without peer. In 2001, he carried out a radical 3 stage oesophagectomy on me at the Princess Alexander Hospital. My condition at that time was rated stage three with a poor prognosis. His precision like surgical skills in the operating theatre are the main reason I am alive today, I experienced total recovery and cure. His plan for me both pre and post operative was totally focused. His patient/doctor relationship was like no other. His team of dedicated professionals never left me in any doubt of their abilities. If you want the best, this is your man. Bruce Hennessy, Cleveland. 2013.

Top surgeon, but very very moody. Appointments or hospital visits by him depend on what mood he is in at the time. Dry sense of humour. If you get him on a good day - fine. But catch him in a bad mood (regularly!), and he is very rude, offensive, & grumpy. If you can put up with that, he's your man. If you're bothered about being offended, getting yelled at, or being treated rudely, go somewhere else...Plenty of other good surgeons esp. gastrologists elsewhere.
