Mr Matthew Oliver is a Breast Surgeon and General Surgeon based in Bendigo, VIC. He works out of 133-135 Lily Street, Bendigo VIC 3550. If you’ve been referred for a surgical opinion, or you’re looking for a clear plan for what to do next, he focuses on explaining options in a plain, calm way.
His work mainly involves breast and general surgical care. This can include breast exams and checking up on breast lumps. At times, appointments are about understanding changes you’ve noticed, and other times it’s about following up on results from scans or tests. In many cases, the goal is to make sure the next steps are well thought through, not rushed.
Mr Oliver also looks after people who need skin lesion removal. Skin changes can be worrying, even when they turn out to be something minor, so the visits often start with listening to what’s been happening and then doing the right physical checks. If treatment is needed, he talks through what’s involved and what recovery can look like.
On the general surgery side, he helps with hernia problems, including hernia repair. Hernias can cause discomfort with lifting, bending, or long days on your feet. People often come in unsure about whether they need surgery right away. Mr Oliver works through symptoms, exam findings, and practical options, so you have a better idea of the risks and benefits in your situation.
Many patients find it helpful when things are kept simple. Mr Oliver aims to be clear about the process—from check-up to treatment planning to aftercare. He understands that surgery can feel stressful, and the small details matter, like knowing what to expect and when to seek help after the procedure.
As a surgeon who covers both breast and general surgical needs, he may see a range of cases from routine checks through to more specific concerns that need assessment. Over time, he builds the plan step by step, based on what’s going on and what you and your doctor have already found.
Mr Oliver is in Bendigo and is available for people who have been referred for breast and general surgical care, including breast exams, breast lump evaluation, skin lesion removal, and hernia repair.
