Dr.Quin
MBChB(Otago), PhD(Syd), FRANZCO
Eye Surgeon
Dr. Quin is an an eye surgeon and medical retinal specialist. His expertise include caring for people with diabetic eye disease, macular degeneration and other retinal disorders. A graduate of Otago Medical School he was a resident at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital before being awarded a PhD in diabetic retinopathy form the University of Sydney. After completing his specialist training at Sydney Eye Hospital he completed further sub-specialty training in Medical Retina.
Dr. Quin is a fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists, and a member of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Retinal Specialists. As a Clinical Lecturer at Macquarie University, Dr. Quin continues to research new ways to prevent vision loss with both laboratory science and as an inverstigator in large clinical trials of emerging treatments. He publishes articles about retinal disease in respected scientific and medical journals, and attends international conferences to offer patients the best available treatments worldwide.
Goff highly values establishing a good rapport with patients, taking time to listen to their and the family's concerns. He gives full explanations of their condition and treatment options.
