Guest speakers:
Mr Andre Westenberg - Urologist, Tauranga
Andre is a consultant urologist from Tauranga and has been a visiting urologist to Taranaki since 2002.
After obtaining his FRACS in New Zealand he completed a fellowship in reconstructive genitourinary surgery at the Institute of Urology in London. Although primarily a uro-oncologist, he has a subspecialty interest in the surgical management of male urinary incontinence. He has a large experience with the range of surgical options available to treat this debilitating condition and has published a number of research articles in this field.
Outside of urology, he manages a barely viable avocado orchard and enjoys tramping and climbing.
Mr Liam Wilson - Urologist, Tauranga
Liam is a urologist based in the Bay of plenty, and has been helping out in Taranaki for 15 years. He has several subspecialty interests, including decision making in treatment of prostate cancer, paediatric urology, and treatment of erectile dysfunction.
When not working he enjoys being a terrible runner and a worse cyclist. It is always a pleasure to come to New Plymouth and work with Hazel and Jimmy and their fantastic team.
