Dr Rian Crandon
BSc (Hons) MBBS R.PSG.T FANZCA
My name is Dr Rian Crandon and I will be your anaesthetist for your upcoming procedure.
I grew up in Queensland, before relocating to NSW to attend medical school at the University of Notre Dame, Sydney. I subsequently worked in Melbourne for several years at the Austin Hospital, before returning to Queensland for my specialist anaesthetic training. I completed a general fellowship at the Gold Coast University Hospital, before undertaking a second subspecialty fellowship at Oxford University Hospital in the United Kingdom. Here I was the “Sir Robert Macintosh Advanced Airway Fellow” sub specialising in complex head and neck surgery and difficult airway management.
I enjoy working in a variety of surgical specialities, however have a special interest in head and neck surgery where I am an active researcher and published author in this field.
My aim is for you to have a positive experience for your surgery with as little pain and discomfort as possible after the procedure. By gathering some information about your health from you beforehand, I will be able to tailor the anaesthetic specifically to meet the needs of your surgery while keeping you as safe as possible throughout. Please be reassured that Australian anaesthetists have world class training in anaesthesia, pain control, resuscitation, intensive care and managing medical emergencies, so there is no safer place in the world to have an anaesthetic than in Australia.
