Prof Chris Berney is the best surgeon, very professional and highly qualified.I had a double hernia done and went home the same day with zero pain and discomfort. I was a bit restricted in movement for 2-3 days but after that I was able to move freely, and after 2 weeks felt very normal moving freely and even lifting weights. From day one I did not need any pain medicine as there was no need for it.I very highly recommend Dr Berney and I could have not asked to be in better hands.Thanks Dr, I'm sure you always be on top of things.

Dr is great, thankful I found him.Reception however:Just expect to wait 1-2 hours after your appointment time in the office, I'm not sure why they don't book out 45 minutes per client. Reception will suprise you with a few bills later, $500 for Anesthetist, $850 for assistant and $1000 more than quoted out of pocket fees. Please make sure they tell you all quotes upfront. Their response is they can't help it. Although everywhere else I've been for medical seems to be very accurate and helpful.Otherwise dr is perfect.

I am a 60 year old male who had Inguinal Hernia. I didn’t know which surgent to use, so I looked up the best reviews that I could find and found that Prof Berney had 5 star and excellent reviews, so I decided to go with him. I had Laparoscopic / Keyhole procedure with mesh. I stayed in hospital over night with minimal pain for 3 days, after 1week I had hardly any pain. After 4 weeks I was doing everything as per normal. It’s been 8 weeks since my procedure now and I feel excellent. I thank Prof Chris Berney and his lovely staff and would recommend him to my Family and Friends.

Professor Berney makes you feel at ease as soon as you meet him. He listens to your symptoms. Then explains the benefits of the procedure he recommends for you. I felt comfortable with his thoughts and agreed to the operation. Professor Berney is a caring and supportive man. Many thanks to you.

I saw Dr Berney for an umbilical hernia repair and am extremely happy with the outcome.In the initial consult Dr Berney explained the issue in an easy to understand manner, advised the option to proceed with surgery and what activities I could do without making it worse.I went ahead with the surgery and appreciated the clear information pre and post op. Recovery went smooth and am now looking forward to returning (gradually) to training.Dr Berney is incredibly knowledgeable in his field but also has a great bedside manner. I highly recommend to anyone needing a hernia repair.

I had an inguinal hernia in late 2022. It has been about a year since Prof Chris Berney fixed the hernia by inserting a mesh with keyhole surgery. Since then I have had no issues and the hernia and the pain have completely gone.Originally, there were some delays getting to see other surgeons; I don't think my problem was seen as high priority. We found Chris' profile online at the end of November and booked an appointment. Overall, he was very friendly and gave me a lot of opportunity to ask questions. Prof Berney was very good and rapid with the surgery plus check-up being completed prior to Christmas. It was a relief going into 2023 with everything fixed.I had cover from my private health insurance and the procedure was done at Waratah Private Hospital. Chris is slightly more expensive than some but I got a very good result and will not hesitate to contact him again if I need any future surgery for other problems.

My Father is an elderly person aged in his mid-80's & he underwent a complex procedure for major stomach surgery back in early 2022. My family were previously referred to Dr. Berney prior to knowing all about his work & we can only express our most highest regard for his expertise & quality customer care towards his Patient's & their loved ones - this is in relation to both past & present that we have spoken with. My father has recovered 100% well for a person his age & is most grateful for Dr. Berney's level of care he received before & after his major operation. My family continue to look forward to seeing him again for our future consultations.

After visiting 3 other Surgeons Hernia Specialists I organised a review with Prof Berney as I had watched his procedures on YouTube and read a fair amount about him Google etc. His reviews also provided me some optimism that he could fix what other couldn’t.Previous to my visit I had provided Dr Burney with recent Ultrasound /MRI / Reports / Pathology etc…. I wanted him to be as informed about my condition as possible and provide me (like the others) his expert surgical assessment.My initial meeting with him was tough love -“Stop smoking - lose weight and I’ll do my best to fix you !” He was very respectful - and honest with me. He didn’t sugarcoat anything and advised me of all of the risks of this complex surgery.I believed Prof Berney was my best option of success given the 4 surgeons I had consulted. He explained his approach in detail that I could understand and took time doing so.After accepting Prof Berney’s terms I booked in for surgery.I returned to him and underwent BTI day surgery @ Waratah Private - this was pain free. I rested at home for the next 2.5 weeks, lost a little more weight and returned for the big day.Surgery day came around quickly and I couldn’t wait- Botox had done its job and back was killing me - tummy wax like jelly.I underwent a 5 hr plus marathon procedure - Laparoscopic/open extensive adhesiolysis (cutting & removing Adhesions), with mesh repair of incision hernia, partial excision of old mesh, neurovascular flap repair - rejoin rectus muscles etc…..Operation was problematic as I had extensive intra-abdominal adhesions with small bowl loops, transverse colon and greater omentum plastered against my abdominal wall. 15 x 9 cm incarcerated recurrent Hernia successfully repaired - previous abdominal scar excised and new mesh secured.Abdomen all sutured up and may allow me future Baywatch / Bondi rescue appearances ?? Honestly the scar is better than I’d expected - 100% better than before.I remained in hospital under Prof Berney/ Dr Moollan’s watchful care. Absolutely minimal pain if any experienced throughout.Post surgery 2 months (wearing Binder), I’ve had my 2nd review and all going very well and I have gone from a 2XL to wearing a Large pair of trousers. I can bend / twist move, walk pain free. Tummy is firming up due to the Botox wearing off.Thank you Prof Berney / Dr Moolan and Dr Leggett for agreeing to conduct surgery on my broken body. You have not only delivered but exceeded my expectations- thank-you for taking away the pain, cramps and sleepiness nights.

I have been patient of Dr Berney for about 20 months. I had a paraoesophageal Hiatus Hernia; with no symptoms or pain just low iron count.I had it repaired 16 months ago, experienced no pain after the surgery and was allowed home on the fourth day after the surgery.Dr Berney has very good communication skills, explained everything and when speaking to my son after the surgery was very informative about how the surgery went.He is a very experienced surgeon, and he follows-up the surgery with regular check-ups. I was in good hands.I would not hesitate to recommend him.

My wife was in Bankstown hospital following a severe gallbladder attack. She was admitted under Dr Berney and after being in hospital for a week she did not want to have the gallbladder removed straight away and so she went on to a waiting list. She had a few more mild attacks and was then able to have the gallbladder removal surgery. She was very grateful to Dr Berney for fast-tracking her operation after waiting for close to three months. The operation went very well without any complications and was discharged the following morning. She recovered very quickly and hardly had to use any pain killers. Two days later she was in the club enjoying food that she was unable to eat prior to the gallbladder surgery. She was very thankful to Dr Berney for his skill and ability and that there was no scarring.

I would like to thank Prof Chris Berney and his team for looking after me when I had my para-oesophageal Hernia operation in May 2018 I recently had my follow-up five years later and he was very pleased with the result and no further complications were found. I would highly recommend Prof Chris Berney to anyone who maybe needs this operation, he is a master in this field and you can be confident in his ability.

I am a 78-year old male who recently underwent surgery for two hernias using laparoscopic or keyhole surgery by Dr. Chris Berney. The operation was minimally invasive using 3 very small holes in the abdomen which healed within a week with outstanding results - I was back playing golf within a month and experienced no pain from the procedure. I stayed only one night in hospital and was home the day after the surgery. I highly commend Dr. Berney to anyone needing surgery for a hernia and am testimony to the fact that laparoscopic surgery is suitable for healthy older individuals for the repair of hernias.Patrick Mannix

Professor Berney's manner, professionalism and expertise put all my concerns to rest. The patient care I received before, during and after the surgery was exceptional.

Dr Berney is the absolute best in his field his skills, kindness and care is phenomenal and I can’t thank him enough for fixing my dad. He operated on my 75 year old father who had a complex hernia on his stomach (15x21cm) with absolute precision and care. My father had waited in a rural hospital for over 2 years for the procedure, when it came time, they realised it was too large and dangerous to undergo in a country hospital. My dad was then referred to a private doctor who quoted him over $50k for the surgery as an out of pocket fee. Desperate for a better outcome, I did some research and called Dr Berney. I can honestly say it was the best decision of my life. Dr Berney is extremely knowledgeable, honest , efficient and highly skilled. The team is fantastic at communicating all the steps and procedures leading up to surgery. The hospital provided excellent care during the surgery considering the size of the hernia. After care was exceptional. Dr Berney is a master craftsman and I cannot recommend him enough for someone that you love.

After being hospitalized 5 times and seeing another gastrointestinal Dr I went to Prof Berney after he had operated on my Mum years earlier . Boy am I glad that I did . Every Dr I'd seen in the past 12 months were unable to help me and didn't know how to help me . Within 5 mins of talking with Prof Berney for the first time he knew exactly what needed to be done .Prof Berney performed a colectomy and fixed what no-one else could . I ended up spending 6 weeks in hospital , not due to surgical complications in any way , Prof Berney was there every day and did everything he had to to get me back on my feet .This is one specialist who actually CARE'S. He's not only a fantastic Dr , he's a fantastic person . I don't have the words to express how thankful I am , the Professor saved my life .You're a lucky person if you choose Prof Berney to be your Doctor , you won't find anyone better for all aspects of your treatment , he is a great man .Thanks for everything Prof Berney .

Professor Christophe Berney is the ultimate professional who takes great pride in his work.Professor Berney always made sure i was comfortable and he always asked if i had any questions to which his answers always put me at ease.Professor Berney took his time thoroughly explaining the procedures and the steps, not once did he try to rush me.Professor Berney gave me alot of confidence hence why i chose to go ahead with him for the surgery, he was my second opinion and luckily i got that second opinion.The first surgeon i got referred to didn't give me that confidence, hence why i got a second opinion.Professor Berney and his team were great pre-surgery, during surgery and post-surgery.It was my first inguinal hernia operation and as a self employed business owner i didn't need any more stress or anxiety.I just wanted a smooth, hassle free operation and consultations without any added stress and thats exactly what i got by seeing Professor Berney.Professor Berney and his staff were always polite, respectful and very friendly.I highly recommend Professor Berney to anyone considering operating on a hernia or any other surgery that he might do.His experience is second to none the Professor is a pioneer of his industry.Thanks again Professor Berney and teamGod bless 🙏

My name is Carolyn Adams, I am a 75year old woman of a solid build, and I consulted Dr. Chris Berney for symptoms of an inguinal hernia.Dr. Berney operated laparoscopically on my hernia. My recovery was rapid with no complications. In fact I was back leading my normal life within a very short time and within five weeks went on an adventure cruise to a remote area of the Kimberly. Iam very happy to have been able to have had laparoscopic surgery as opposed to open surgery.

Towards the end of 2022 I was referred to Dr Berney for a hernia problem and arrangements were made for an operation which had to be rescheduled to early 2023 due to contracting Covid. Just before Xmas I experienced some abdominal pain and thinking it was hernia related, contacted Dr Berney who suggested I have an abdominal scan. Long story short, it was appendicitis and Dr Berney squeezed me into his list and operated the following day. Dr Berney explained after that the operation had some complications which he managed to overcome. Subsequently in February I had the hernia operation which went smoothly. Dr Berney's professional skills gave me an outcome for which I and my family were 100% satisfied and very grateful. He is also extremely approachable with a knack of explaining complicated medical issues in a way that you can understand. I cannot recommend Dr Berney more highly enough.

I’m a 75 year old man. I was referred to Prof Berney after being offered open surgery for a hernia that was increasing in size alarmingly. I was told that open surgery was preferred for older men but I wanted to opt for lapiscopic surgery. Prof Berney explained the advantages of key hole surgery for hernia repair and was able to put me his list the following week. The surgery was accomplished with the minimum of fuss, for me, though clearly with great skill by Prof Berney as I recovered with only minor discomfort in the first week. It’s now six weeks since the operation and I am not aware of any pain or discomfort at all and have resumed my full exercise regime of swimming, walking, running and weight training.

In my time of need I have had the very good fortune to be under the professional care of Professor C Berney to repair my hiatus hernia by laparoscopic surgery in December 2019, this was his last for that year and I was scheduled in to avoid waiting some time till he was back at work in 2020 and this was very much appreciated from my part.I cannot speak highly enough of the manner in which Dr Berney and his team, in the hospital and in the office, has taken care of me right from the original consultation and the operation pre and post.Dr. Berney called my son immediately after the operation to report the success and he also requested that my home carer come to the hospital to meet with him for special instructions particularly as regards diet.To date I have had yearly monitoring since then with excellent results. Dr Berney has always reported in detail and been forthcoming in providing written documentation and endoscopy images for my records.I have absolutely no hesitation in highly recommending Professor Christophe Berney and his team to anyone requiring his professional expertise for surgery and on-going care.Sincerely Gordon Russell, 16/05/2023

2023 - Recently I had an umbilical hernia fixed by Prof Berney. I know this is routine surgery, however I was petrified. Prof Berney took the time and explained everything to me, and through the whole experience both himself and his team are extremely accommodating. He really cares for his patient's. I can not recommend enough. As for my surgery, it went really well. I was up and about a few days after and back to normal activities within a week. It's not often you get someone as genuine as Prof Berney. 5 star.

Prof Berney successfully repaired three of my hernia problems of different kinds and in different bodily locations over several years, in spite of great difficulties posed by a congenital medical condition. The surgery was sometimes very complex, but he rose to the challenge on every occasion, even using special surgical methods he had developed. I can recommend Prof Berney as a skilled, experienced and caring surgical practitioner who always explained the procedures and outcomes and has a great rapport with his patients.

Dr Chris Berney has given me a new life. I suffered from extreme reflux for many years and was told I had a hiatus hernia and to take medication for it. When after 20 years I was on such high doses of meds and was short of breath, and low in iron ( due to a bleeding esophagus). I went to see Dr Berney, I was really stressed about the surgery and even said to him and his team don't let me die. After approx. 4 hr plus surgery I was with no pain and was home in 3 days. My stomach issues have gone and I have had 2 follow up gastroscopies and my hiatus hernia surgery has made such a great difference in my life. Dr Berney is very caring and will to listen, he even answered my call from icu when I was uncertain about something he has said on his daily visit.

I have had a number of unsuccessful surgeries on my hernia and it wasn’t until I met Dr Berney that I felt like I was under the care of a doctor who wanted to ensure a successful outcome from surgery. From the first consultation, Dr Berney’s approach was caring and professional and he wanted to work with me to ensure the mistakes from previous surgeries were not repeated. I couldn’t be happier with the final result. Thank you Dr Berney and his caring staff for taking such good care of me.

I visited Dr. Berney late December and he referred me to another doctor. His receptionist meant to provide me referral later on the day. Due to her work load, she said that it will be faxed directly to other doctor and till now it has not been faxed. I had to call both surgery room back and forth to several time and I am still waiting for letter to arrange appointment. The receptionist is very incompetent and lame excuses. Additionally, no apologies for the inconvenience caused and spoke to me in an attitude tone. Seriously!! How hard is it to do her required duties in timely manner??😡😡

In my opinion Professor Chris Berney remains the consummate professional medical practitioner and a surgeon extraordinaire.I was very fortunate to have Professor Berney recommended to me when I discovered that I had an annoying Hernia that required immediate attention. I need to note that the Professor employs surgical skills that minimise pain, discomfort and scarring for the patient to ensure a short and swift recovery. I am pleased to attest to this fact having successfully undergone my own Hernia repair procedure without complications whatsoever.Further, Professor Berney demonstrates a 'genuinely', friendly pleasant, comforting and affable approach when dealing with the patient, before and post procedure. It is with total and unreserved confidence that I recommend Professor Chris Berney to any prospective patient.

I had inguinal hernia surgery and found Prof Berney and his team professional and experts in their field. I have been on blood thinners for a long time and my operation posed few risks. Prof Berney consulted with my other treating specialists to ensure operation was a success. He clearly explained the pre and post operation requirements and attended to any queries I had. I have had no issues post operations and highly recommend Prof Berney and his team.

After three years of being in agony and no one being able to tell me what was wrong I finally met Dr Berney Without him i honestly do not believe i would still be here I was that sick. Thank you from myself and my family for everything you did for me. For the first time in three years i'm actually putting weight on and eating without being sick and generally feeling well. So again thank you😊I would highly recommend Dr Berney😊😊

"I could not be more pleased with Prof Berney's repair of my sizeable groin hernia."! His expertise and profound knowledge of his specialty is "Par Excellence." He has a wonderfully warm bedside manner and fills you with the utmost confidence in the procedure he recommends to repair a groin hernia. I had NO abdominal "black bruising," (that can occur) minimal post operative pain/discomfort and I healed beautifully in the quickest time.I would have no hesitation in recommending Prof Berney to perform surgery to successfully repair a groin hernia.

As a regular patient, I found his service to be extraordinary. He was assertive, dedicated, and always considerate of my needs. He's a top-rated Upper-GI & Hernia Surgeon, and thankful to have had his services.

I have had many hospital admissions during the last 4 years due to my diabetes/thyroid issues, however, this year I had an added complication of a small bowel obstruction.After seeing numerous Gastroenterologist Registrars/Doctors, all of whom enter the room with a posse of students for them to sprout my symptoms and tell me they are looking into it, but not actually talking to me as a person, more so as one more patient to tick off their list of To Do items, in walked Professor Berney - my saviour!!!Professor Berney was from the very beginning the first (apart from my Endocrinologist) whom spoke to me like a real person and actually actively listened to me regarding my symptoms and concerns. I cannot express how calming and soothing he was.He too did not have all the answers at that given moment, but I felt safe knowing I was under his care. After a Double Balloon Colonscopy was completed and another hospital admission with small bowel obstruction complication, Professor Berney completed a small bowel re-section.Yet again, he was reassuring and I felt like I was in an expert's care. The surgery and follow up have gone without any further complications and all issues are now resolved.I honesly cannot speak more highly of Professor Berney. All of this professionalism, skill, personality and he is so handsome to boot!!! What more could you ask for?Thank you, thank you, thank you Professor Berney from the bottom of my heart.

Top notch. Uses the best hernia procedures and goes further - very aware of the materials any mesh or glue is made from , always biologically compatible. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to my family members let alone anyone else.

Thank you Professor Berney! Excellent results! I am extremely grateful for your surgical expertise on my laparoscopic ventrical hernia surgery.Some pain and bruising for the first five days which I was assured was normal and would subside...and it absolutely did.After my follow up and just two months after surgery, I am fully recovered. Only three small scars on my abdomen which will fade over time.Additionally, I can't thank Bankstown Hospital enough! The nursing staff and Doctors were exceptionally helpful and I must admit I had a very good day!Thank you all so much!

I can not thank Prof Berney enough. From the first consultation to surgery and post-op i was well looked after. Waiting for my surgery I could hear the surgeons assisting Prof Berney talk amongst themselves of how highly regarded he was in his field of expertise, knowledge and experience. That was when I knew I was in good hands.

Dr. Berney is a consummate professional. I was referred to him for a hernia and underwent laparoscopic surgery shortly after. Dr. Berney took the time during my initial consultation and following surgery to answer every question I had, in detail. Nothing felt rushed or clinical. In fact, we spoke at length on a few occasions and his interest in both my recovery as well as continually improving this specialty field was evident. I don’t know the intricacies of surgery, but I believe his skill and technique is excellent. Notwithstanding what I expected post-op, I was up and moving the next day and good to go by the fourth. Most importantly, I haven’t felt any residual pain since. I’d highly recommend Dr. Berney.

I had developed gallstones which caused very painful gallstone attacks. I decided to see Prof. Chris Berney as my surgeon to perform a cholecystectomy (Gallbladder removal surgery). I am very happy that I did seek out Prof. Berney, he is a brilliant surgeon, very knowledgeable and kind. He took his time explaining the procedure in detail and is very caring.I did experience some uncommon complications post surgery and I am very grateful that I was under his care during this time. I have now made a full recovery and I can’t recommend Prof Berney enough, he’s the best in his field!

I always take second or even third opinion before I decide who will do the surgery for me. After my first appointment with Profesor Chris Berney I was certain this is the doctor which I can trust. He is very professional, he listen patiently, he does not rush, he answers descriptively the questions, shows alternatives and present results of his previous patients. He visited me twice after surgery with full explanation. After four weeks from my surgery I started full exercises, riding bicycle and work in the garden. No pain and no sign of my physical bulging hernia. I strongly recommend Professor Berney. We need more doctors like him. Very happy patient - Andrew N.
