About Us

The Plastic surgical clinic in Bracken Ave. was first opened in 1985 by John De Geus.
We pride ourselves in our work and ensure we aim to achieve perfection in all the procedures we perform for all our clients, with the same integrity and compassion as has been instilled from the foundation of the clinic.

Ashwin joined the North Shore Plastics team in 2005 after returning from fellowships overseas and Jonathan joined in 2013 after his fellowship experience abroad.

The clinic is managed by Mandy Pye, who has been at the rooms since its beginning.
Kylie Francis is the business nurse involved in local theatre and post operative care.

Debbie Bottema has been working at the rooms for over 15 years providing excellent expert
Service for the non surgical treatments using Botox and fillers.

We pride ourselves on going the extra mile to provide you with up to date services in a friendly, warm environment to ensure our patients receive the very best of care.
