Dr Daniel Mafi - Tauranga
Daniel Mafi is a New Zealand trained General, laparoscopic and endoscopic Surgeon with a special interest in weight loss surgery (gastric sleeve and bypass), hernia repairs, and oesophageal and gastric problems including anti-reflux procedures.
Based out of Tauranga, Daniel has gained a wealth of experience over the past 15 years, working in all of New Zealand’s major centers, covering the full breadth of surgical specialties, including four years of Plastic and Reconstructive surgery.
He also spent two years of subspecialty training at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary (Scotland) where he held a International Medical Training Fellowship in Oesophago-gastric Surgery. Having worked at the busiest cancer center in Scotland with internationally recognised experts, Daniel has returned to New Zealand with a comprehensive set-of-skills and truly contemporary expertise in managing Upper gastrointestinal disorders. Additional experience was gained during this time in complex hernia surgery (including abdominal wall reconstruction) and bariatric (weight loss) surgery.
Daniel is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and member of the New Zealand Association of General Surgeons. He is additionally a member of multiple professional societies including the ANZ Metabolic and Obesity Surgery Society (ANZMOSS), the ANZ Gastric and Oesophageal Surgery Association (ANZGOSA), the British Hernia Society, and the European Hernia Society. He holds Consultant positions at Tauranga Public Hospital (Bay of Plenty DHB) and Grace Hospital (Norfolk Southern Cross Ltd).
In addition to his clinical role as a specialist consultant, Daniel is involved in the education of junior doctors, particularly in teaching operative technique to surgical trainees. Daniel also has a passion for global surgery and the provision of quality surgical care and medical education in developing nations.
When Daniel is not at work you will find him with his wife, three kids and dog (Sammy) walking the beach in Tauranga, exploring the many beautiful bush walks throughout Aotearoa, cycling, or buried in a good book with a strong black coffee.
