I followed a unique training pathway in Oral and Maxillofacial Head and Neck Surgery, combining broad extensive clinical training and sound scientific grounding to support clinical practice. I studied both clinical dentistry and medicine and completed extensive training in the UK. During the time spent in the UK, I completed two Masters and a PhD in facial and jawbone reconstruction. I then went to work as a consultant surgeon in the UK prior to moving to the New Zealand. I am fortunate to be one of the most qualified Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons in Western Europe and Australasia.
Patient care is the fundamental reason for my professional existence, and patients and their families, who are partners during their journey. I apply a holistic patient care approach founded on evidence-based practices. Transparent communication, regular reporting on outcomes and patient full engagement are the main principles to my practice. With this in mind, Muammar provides timely access to advice and support. I consult at multiple locations in attempt at providing local service to my patients and operate at multiple hospitals so I can offer my patients the choice and the best possible quality treatment in a timely manner.
Private treatment should be seamless and timely with minimal waiting time. To maximize our ability to keep this commitment, I work and operate at more than one location. This does not only empower patient choice, but also provides us with the ability to offer treatment promptly with little waiting time.
I greatly value collaborative work and am proud to be a member of an excellent multidisciplinary head and neck surgical team. My practice involves joint operations with other specialist colleagues in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, ENT, Plastic Surgery, and Neurosurgery.
Additionally, I am privileged to have a wide network of specialists, including radiation and medical oncologists, head and neck anesthetists, oral rehabilitation dental specialists, oral medicine specialists, and specialist orthodontists, as well as other allied health professionals like outstanding operating room, ward, and admin staff, head and neck nurse specialists, dieticians, physiotherapists, hypnotherapists, and lymphedema specialists.
In addition, I have access to advanced technologies such as 3D planning, tissue bioengineering, and intraoperative navigation enhances our ability to deliver high-quality care. I am one among many dedicated professionals working together to provide the best care for our patients.
Maintaining a close, approachable, and supportive relationship with colleagues and friends in primary dental and medical care is fundamental to my service. I am committed to acknowledging their communications within 24 hours and am always available to offer support and advice.
For colleagues in primary care, including doctors and dentists, I conduct small group sessions to develop or enhance skills in areas such as the diagnosis of oral lesions, wound suturing, and dental implant placement.

Due to the nature of the training I received, I do not only carry out routine oral and maxillofacial surgical procedure but also head, neck, skin, thyroid surgery and complex reconstructive surgery including microsurgery.
