“Quality Care in a Timely Manner”
What do our patients say
I had a pleasure of being treated by Dr Mastakov for a hernia surgery, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. From my initial consultation to postop care the doctor was professional, knowledgeable and compassionate. Dr Mastakov took time to explain procedure and the surgery went smoothly. I truly felt in safe hands throughout the entire process.
From my first consultation with Dr Mastakov to the surgery day today it has been so smooth and an absolutely pleasure to be your patient. Thanks for your professionalism, knowledge, care, golden hands! There are not many surgeons like Dr Mastakov out there. Also big thanks to his assistant Juanita for organising all paperwork on time and prompt communication! Highly recommend.
Absolutely 5 star experience from consultation to post surgery 2 years later! I had no unanswered questions before going in and had 💯 confidence in Dr Mastakov’s abilities! Brilliant results aswell! I dropped 75kgs in 1 year! And regular check-ins to ensure health and well-being are perfect! Lovely Wanita is also a huge help at answering any and all questions you may have forgotten to ask and always remembers my mum and I!

BMI – Making BMI Work for You
Your BMI is a simple, no‑fuss way to see if your weight roughly matches your height. It can alert you to potential concerns, but it’s not a one‑stop health check. Use it as a gentle nudge to tune into your body: if your number falls outside the “healthy” band, our supportive team can help you explore the next steps—whether that’s tweaking your workout, adjusting your meals or checking other health markers.
At the end of the day, you know your body best. BMI is just one tool in your kit. Treat it as a conversation starter, not a final verdict, and combine it with the other pieces of the puzzle—how you feel, how your clothes fit, your energy levels and your broader health markers—to build a truly rounded picture of wellness.
Patient Support Services
We believe that effective, timely and trusted communication between the surgeon and a patient is an important factor of the ultimate success of any treatment. Patients should feel comfortable with the proposed treatment and understand and follow recommendations for self-management in the pre and post-surgical periods. A timely surgeon advice is also extremely important to resolve any patient’s enquiries and avoid complications.
Recognising the need, we provide patients with a timely and effective communication support, which includes responses to all written or oral enquiries within 24 hours from the time of receiving an enquiry, where appropriate, phone consultations with Dr Mastakov within 24 hours from the time of request.
Patients requiring an emergency surgery are referred to our clinic by the hospital emergency department or by the patient’s General Practitioner. Emergency surgery usually performed within 24 hours. This includes access to operating theatres in the following hospitals: Mater Redland, Sunnybank Private Hospitals in Brisbane or St Stephen’s Private Hospital in Hervey Bay on Queensland’s Fraser Coast.
Prior to an elective surgery an initial consultation will be required at one of the clinics. The referral from the patient’s General Practitioner is necessary to claim the Medicare rebate for the consultation. The term elective surgery is used to describe a surgery that is medically required, however they are not classed as emergencies, allowing for delays of at least 24 hours.
The practice schedules all elective surgeries and surgical procedures according to their urgency, patient’s request and hospital availability. However, around 90% of all elective surgeries are accommodated within a fortnightly period from the time of the initial consultation.
Before you are discharged from the hospital, a comprehensive post-surgery discharge information will be provided to you. The Post-surgery discharge information is a list of instructions to help you recover from your surgery. This can be also requested over the phone or email. We will discuss with you everything from body weight, body mass index, as all as the type of surgical procedures and anaesthetic used.
