Dr Joanna Morgan

Meet Joanna, a highly experienced and dedicated surgeon specialising in breast and thyroid surgeries. With a rich background in healthcare, Joanna brings with her a passion for providing the best care and a deep sense of empathy towards her patients. She understands that clinical problems often require complex decision-making and therefore takes the time to explain and educate her patients about their diagnosis, management options, and individualized treatment plans. This is particularly critical in cancer care, where therapeutic options must be tailored to the needs of each patient.

Joanna's expertise in oncoplastic surgical techniques has helped many women avoid radical mastectomy for breast cancer. At her consulting rooms, she evaluates breast and thyroid conditions using ultrasound, which enhances her clinical assessments. Whenever necessary, she performs fine needle biopsies of thyroid nodules and aspirates symptomatic cysts. Joanna is also an active member of several multidisciplinary teams and participates in research and clinical trials.

Joanna's commitment to providing quality healthcare extends beyond her practice. For over 17 years, she has served as a visiting breast surgeon to Monash Health (Moorabbin) and BreastScreen. In her personal life, she is a loving mother, partner, and an avid enthusiast of creative activities and water sports.

Overall, Joanna is a compassionate surgeon who genuinely cares for her patients' well-being. Her special interests include oncoplastic breast surgery, mindful of cosmetic outcomes and increasing breast conservation, thyroid surgery for nodules, goitre, Grave's disease, and cancer, and surgeon-performed ultrasound that enhances clinical and operative assessment.
