Testimonials
Brooke Walsh
"The Perth team basically sent me home to die. You gave me an option, and more importantly HOPE, when no(one) else could. You should be praised for the hero you are, not vilified by a bunch of incompetent egotistical medical professionals."
Barbara Kluver
“Dr Teo was more than happy for me to get a 2nd opinion. Of course I didn’t, why would I? He is such a skilled surgeon. The very best. I was lucky to have him. I saw him on a Tuesday and he operated the very next day.
Although I was very anxious at the thought of having surgery, I knew I was in excellent hands, and after meeting Charlie I saw for myself what a warm, compassionate, caring and honest man he is. The surgery was a complete success.”
