While advancing his skills in general practice, Dr. Bennett witnessed the devastating effects of long-term pain and chronic conditions on patients.
Dr. Bennett graduated with the Dean’s Academic Excellence Award from Bond University Medical School on the Gold Coast. His time as a radiology resident, gaining experience from the interventional radiology team at GCUH, sparked his interest in endovascular management and techniques.

Focusing on both conservative management and surgical intervention to help patients manage conditions like lipoedema and lymphoedema, Dr Bennett aims to alleviate their pain and improve their quality of life. His dedication to venous health exemplifies his holistic approach to patient care.
