About Dr Naseem Mirbagheri

With a passion for innovative research, technologies, and treatments, Dr Naseem Mirbagheri is dedicated to putting the patient experience and positive outcomes at the centre of her practice. For male and female patients, discussing colorectal health issues or pelvic floor problems can seem intimidating or embarrassing, so your comfort as a patient is a priority. In her professional hands as one of the few female colorectal surgeons operating in Victoria, and currently, the only one holding a PhD in pelvic floor disorders, Dr Naseem Mirbagheri combines expertise and compassion in-patient treatment.

Since obtaining her medical qualifications from the University of Melbourne in 2003, she has spent over 14 years training extensively in surgery at multiple hospitals around Victoria and Australia. She obtained her fellowship in General Surgery from the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in 2012 and went on to spend three years in clinical research at Concord Hospital in Sydney investigating disorders of the pelvic floor.

That work, which resulted in Dr Naseem obtaining a PhD from the University of Sydney, made some unique findings that continue to give insight into how people may be helped with such disorders. Following this, she undertook post-fellowship training in general and colorectal surgery at Monash, Eastern and Alfred Health services, cementing her position in providing expert and empathetic colorectal surgery and laparoscopic care. Dr Naseem has published and presented her research on a national and international stage and brings her well-rounded knowledge to many organisations as a member of the Colorectal Surgical Society of Australia and New Zealand and a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. In addition, she has endoscopic skills recognised by the conjoined committee of the Gastroenterology Society of Australia.
