Dr David Wetherell

I am a Melbourne-based Urological Surgeon specialising in robotic and minimally invasive urological surgery. My focus is on delivering evidence-based, patient-centred care, with an emphasis on achieving the best possible outcomes while minimising recovery times and treatment burden for my patients.

I completed advanced fellowship training in Pelvic Uro-Oncology and Robotic Prostate Surgery at University College Hospital London. During this time, I developed expertise in Retzius-Sparing Robotic Prostatectomy for prostate cancer and Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) for the treatment of benign prostate enlargement.

My clinical practice encompasses the management of urological cancers, including prostate, kidney, bladder and testicular cancers, as well as kidney stone disease, haematuria (blood in the urine), and a broad range of general urological conditions.

I consult privately at Epworth Freemasons and East Brighton, and operate at Cabrini Malvern, Holmesglen Private Hospital, Epworth East Melbourne and Epworth Richmond. I also hold public appointments at Austin Health and The Alfred. In addition to my clinical work, I am actively involved in medical education, regularly presenting at GP education events and contributing to national and international scientific meetings and conferences.
