Excellence and Integrity in Plastic Surgery

---

Dr Amy O’Connor is a Queensland trained Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon and in 2018 was the founding Clinical Director of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Unit at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH). 

After completing her Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship in 2013, she spent 5 years overseas progressing plastic surgery, head and neck resection and reconstruction, skin cancer and melanoma management, breast reconstruction, hand and burns surgery and is comprehensively trained in paediatric and adult reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. 

In cofounding the SCUH Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Unit, Dr O'Connor has a strong commitment to, and has rapidly expanded the delivery of specialist plastic surgical services on the Sunshine Coast. She is the recent chair of the Skin and Melanoma Multidisciplinary Meeting (MDT) and member of the Breast and Head and Neck MDTs. The highly successful plastic surgery skin cancer service established at SCUH in 2018, was awarded the State Winner of the 2019 Queensland Government Winner for Excellence in Health Care.  

While maintaining an ongoing commitment to the public health service and teaching the next generation of clinicians, Dr O'Connor has returned to a private practice. She is consulting at a few Sunshine Coast locations offering plastic and reconstructive surgery services.
Her plastic surgery  is focused on, but not limited to skin cancer resection and reconstruction, with enquiries welcome. Her working philosophy is that of excellence with integrity in the care of her patients.
