Melbourne Hospital who performed a cutting-edge reconstructive jaw surgery using a section of the fibula bone. The fibula bone was implanted with dental implants and teeth, and placed on the day of surgery. This was the first time this operation was ever performed in Victoria.

Felix places great importance on being able to help patients navigate worries associated with potential surgical treatment and communicates with an empathetic manner.
