Professional Profile
Dr Maged Aziz holds two fellowships from the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, one in General Surgery and one in Vascular Surgery, an unusual combination that took years of additional training beyond what most surgeons take on. Because the College covers both countries under a single qualification, his fellowships carry equal standing in New Zealand and Australia, and he holds full registration to provide both varicose vein treatment and surgical care in each.Dr Aziz’s surgical career didn’t start in Australia. He arrived in New Zealand in April 1997, sat the clinical exams required for registration, and began working as a house officer and surgical registrar before going on to general surgery training. Over the years that followed, his training and early career took him through hospitals in Palmerston North, Timaru, Auckland, New Plymouth, and Hamilton, and further south to Dunedin, giving him a working knowledge of both the North and South Islands that go well beyond any single city.
