Dr Devesh Kaushal is a Specialist General Surgeon with sub-specialised training in upper-GI surgery, weight loss surgery and colorectal surgery. He is a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of Surgeons (FRACS).
Dr Kaushal did his surgical registrar training across NSW, QLD and the NT. He then embarked on additional, sub-specialised, upper-gi surgical training in the UK, working within a high-volume oesophageal and gastric surgical centre; training under internationally recognised luminary general surgeons within the UK health system. This provided Dr Kaushal with essential training in minimally invasive (laparoscopic) acid-reflux, hernia and weight loss procedures, such as the gastric sleeve.
Dr Kaushal also performs a range of advanced endoscopic procedures such as balloon dilatation, stent insertion and Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) to remove precancerous, early-stage cancer or other abnormal tissues (lesions) from the digestive tract.

Devesh sadly lost his mother in 2024 after she had a short, but intense battle with cancer.
Devesh’s mother was the driving force behind him becoming a doctor, and ultimately a surgeon and cancer researcher.
Devesh wishes to dedicate his clinical practice and dedication to patient care in the honour of his mother, whose teaching and guidance made him the doctor he is today.
