Learn more about Dr Navi Bali

Anaesthetist - FANZCA, DESA

Stef completed her specialist training in Germany, Adelaide and Brisbane at the PA Hospital, and has gathered a total of 15 years experience in anaesthesia. She intends to put this to good use helping our patients to have a smooth preoperative experience and fast recovery from surgery

The anaesthetic care she provides is guided by modern best practice management in orthopaedic surgery. She frequently makes use of nerve blocks to help patients recover quickly and with few side effects from their general or spinal anaesthetic, while supporting early mobilisation and physiotherapy.

Every patient is different and she will discuss your individual anaesthetic plan with you prior to your operation. She looks forward to meeting you!
