When I first required surgery, I was immediately comforted by Professor Berney’s impressive breadth of education and specialist experience. It was clear I was in the hands of one of Sydney’s top surgeons.
As someone who values physical performance and enjoys athletic pursuits like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I needed someone highly skilled who could help me regain full function and mobility.
At the time of my first consultation, I was dealing with multiple workplace injuries and was at one of the lowest points in my life—both physically and mentally. I was in constant pain, and the toll it was taking on my mental health as an Army veteran was significant. Professor Berney quickly recognised the severity of my condition and, more importantly, showed genuine compassion and understanding during a very distressing time.
Despite being fully booked and preparing for an international trip to France to lecture and train the next generation of surgeons, he went above and beyond to help. He saw how urgent my situation was and ensured that I could be slotted in for surgery at short notice when a cancellation arose—just a week before his departure.
The surgery was life-changing. It marked the beginning of my recovery and gave me a clear path forward. The laparoscopic technique he used was minimally invasive, leaving me with only two small surgical wounds that are now barely noticeable. I made a full recovery and regained full function in a remarkably short period, which speaks volumes about both the technique used and Professor Berney’s outstanding surgical skill.
While not all costs were covered by WorkCover, I had no hesitation in paying the gap. In this case, I wasn’t just paying for a procedure—I was paying for the peace of mind that I was getting the absolute best care possible. The excellent outcome, minimal scarring, and swift recovery made it worth every cent.
I’m incredibly grateful for Professor Berney’s professionalism, care, and surgical expertise. He made a difficult period in my life significantly easier and delivered a result that exceeded my expectations. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Dr Berney is absolutely amazing. He saved my father’s life. He is kind and sensitive to patients’ needs. He is so experienced and knows how to make patients feel at ease and that he is going to look after them because he knows exactly what he’s doing. He is professional in his approach as well as considerate of patients’ needs. I always recommend him to everyone I know. I owe him. God bless him.

I was referred to Prof Berney 12 years ago with a massive hiatus hernia lodged between my heart and my lung.
Prof Berney told my husband and I to cancel our travel plans and prepare for major surgery which inevitably saved my life.
I am beyond grateful for the care and attention I received back in 2012 and the continued on going care and support I am still receiving today.
To call Prof Berney brilliant is an understatement. He performed my surgery by laparoscope not open heart surgery! Considerably reducing recovery time and no scaring.
I am very much enjoying my life, my family and further travel because Professors Berney made it all possible for me.
Words cannot thank you enough Prof! 🙏🙏

Wow, what a turnaround! Last month I had a triple hernia repair including x1 very large inguinal hernia. Was very uncomfortable and extremely challenging over the last 12months. Dr Berney sets the standard of how any professional/surgeon should be. His demeanour is calm and he will talk you through the process step by step. Extremely grateful of the repair/surgery. Had keyhole/laproscopy surgery, was home the next day and very minor pain for 3 to 4 days. Nurofen was only needed. By the week back to most duties and no pain. Thank you Dr Berney and also many thanks to his team, Lauren and Morgan.
Merry Xmas and HAPPY NEW YAR 2025!

My Mother was very unwell. We had been to several specialist Dr’s and done many tests but were getting no where.
We contacted Prof. Berney who took the time to go through all of the information (it was a very complex case), ask relevant questions and then give us some options. He made my Mother feel confident and comfortable. Once we decide to go ahead he immediately organised the procedure and then continued to check in on my Mother and liaise with other Dr’s whilst she was in hospital. He even took the time to call me and explain what was happening. His warmth and caring as well as his ability as a surgeon was above and beyond what we expected. My Mother is finally on the road to recovery and it could not have happened without Prof. Berney. I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you very much!

I did my research to find an expert, as my hiatus hernia had been growing for 30+ years and was massive. Prof Chris Berney stood out as a great choice and he was. I cannot believe the difference his knowledge and skill have made to my quality of life. He and his team are amazingly skilled and professional. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you for surpassing my expectations of the benefit having surgery for my hernia would make and for the kindness shown to me all through the journey.

I have been a patient of Professor Chris Berney for 18 years. Initially I was taken to Bankstown hospital with severe abdominal pain and after being reviewed by several doctors I was introduced to him by an intern who was serving his apprenticeship under the professor. It is my opinion that he virtually saved my life with his accurate well researched diagnosis (the other doctors seemed to be guessing). In the following weeks he successfully operated on my bowel using his newly developed laparoscopic procedure and has been monitoring me ever since.
Always very personable and professional as are his staff. I would have no hesitation in recommending him as the best surgeon I have ever had any experience with.

I had a triple hernia procedure done by Prof.Berney.
He was fantastic in answering and explaining all my questions before and after the operation. Even with my multiple large hernias he recommended laparoscopic surgery which allowed me to recover quicker. He has done a fantastic job as I am back to normal without any complications. I highly recommend him. Harry

At first, I was worried about finding a good hernia surgeon in this area and the surgery outcome as it was my first time having an operation, then I was truly blessed to have seen Professor Berney who is very knowledgeable and experienced in hernia surgery assured me laparoscopy (key hole surgery) would be a safe surgical procedure, and clearly explained the steps taken for hernia repair, after his kind words and expert advice, my fear of hernia surgery dissipated.
Professor Berney, with his proficient medical skills and extensive experience in laparoscopic surgery, did an excellent job in fixing my hernia problem, apart from the minimal post surgery pain felt in first 3 days, my recovery time was short, I was back to all my normal and regular activities a few weeks after surgery, including going to the gym. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend Professor Berney to anyone seeking hernia repair, you will surely be in the good hands of Professor Berney and his medical team. Truly, I can't thank Dr Berney enough for your kindness and life chaging surgical work, merci beaucoup Professeur Berney. May 2024.

He’s a very friendly, caring doctor that follows up on patient not once but at least twice after the operation and these follow up appointments already included in the fee of the procedure. We were very pleased with the services of his practice as well. Thank you so much Professor Berney!

Prof Chris Berney is the best surgeon, very professional and highly qualified.
I had a double hernia done and went home the same day with zero pain and discomfort. I was a bit restricted in movement for 2-3 days but after that I was able to move freely, and after 2 weeks felt very normal moving freely and even lifting weights. From day one I did not need any pain medicine as there was no need for it.
I very highly recommend Dr Berney and I could have not asked to be in better hands.
Thanks Dr, I'm sure you always be on top of things.

I am a 60 year old male who had Inguinal Hernia. I didn’t know which surgent to use, so I looked up the best reviews that I could find and found that Prof Berney had 5 star and excellent reviews, so I decided to go with him. I had Laparoscopic / Keyhole procedure with mesh. I stayed in hospital over night with minimal pain for 3 days, after 1week I had hardly any pain. After 4 weeks I was doing everything as per normal. It’s been 8 weeks since my procedure now and I feel excellent. I thank Prof Chris Berney and his lovely staff and would recommend him to my Family and Friends.

I saw Dr Berney for an umbilical hernia repair and am extremely happy with the outcome.
In the initial consult Dr Berney explained the issue in an easy to understand manner, advised the option to proceed with surgery and what activities I could do without making it worse.
I went ahead with the surgery and appreciated the clear information pre and post op. Recovery went smooth and am now looking forward to returning (gradually) to training.
Dr Berney is incredibly knowledgeable in his field but also has a great bedside manner. I highly recommend to anyone needing a hernia repair.

I had an inguinal hernia in late 2022. It has been about a year since Prof Chris Berney fixed the hernia by inserting a mesh with keyhole surgery. Since then I have had no issues and the hernia and the pain have completely gone.
Originally, there were some delays getting to see other surgeons; I don't think my problem was seen as high priority. We found Chris' profile online at the end of November and booked an appointment. Overall, he was very friendly and gave me a lot of opportunity to ask questions. Prof Berney was very good and rapid with the surgery plus check-up being completed prior to Christmas. It was a relief going into 2023 with everything fixed.
I had cover from my private health insurance and the procedure was done at Waratah Private Hospital. Chris is slightly more expensive than some but I got a very good result and will not hesitate to contact him again if I need any future surgery for other problems.

My Father is an elderly person aged in his mid-80's & he underwent a complex procedure for major stomach surgery back in early 2022. My family were previously referred to Dr. Berney prior to knowing all about his work & we can only express our most highest regard for his expertise & quality customer care towards his Patient's & their loved ones - this is in relation to both past & present that we have spoken with. My father has recovered 100% well for a person his age & is most grateful for Dr. Berney's level of care he received before & after his major operation. My family continue to look forward to seeing him again for our future consultations.

After visiting 3 other Surgeons Hernia Specialists I organised a review with Prof Berney as I had watched his procedures on YouTube and read a fair amount about him Google etc. His reviews also provided me some optimism that he could fix what other couldn’t.
Previous to my visit I had provided Dr Burney with recent Ultrasound /MRI / Reports / Pathology etc…. I wanted him to be as informed about my condition as possible and provide me (like the others) his expert surgical assessment.
My initial meeting with him was tough love -
“Stop smoking - lose weight and I’ll do my best to fix you !” He was very respectful - and honest with me. He didn’t sugarcoat anything and advised me of all of the risks of this complex surgery.
I believed Prof Berney was my best option of success given the 4 surgeons I had consulted. He explained his approach in detail that I could understand and took time doing so.
After accepting Prof Berney’s terms I booked in for surgery.
I returned to him and underwent BTI day surgery @ Waratah Private - this was pain free. I rested at home for the next 2.5 weeks, lost a little more weight and returned for the big day.
Surgery day came around quickly and I couldn’t wait- Botox had done its job and back was killing me - tummy wax like jelly.
I underwent a 5 hr plus marathon procedure - Laparoscopic/open extensive adhesiolysis (cutting & removing Adhesions), with mesh repair of incision hernia, partial excision of old mesh, neurovascular flap repair - rejoin rectus muscles etc…..
Operation was problematic as I had extensive intra-abdominal adhesions with small bowl loops, transverse colon and greater omentum plastered against my abdominal wall. 15 x 9 cm incarcerated recurrent Hernia successfully repaired - previous abdominal scar excised and new mesh secured.
Abdomen all sutured up and may allow me future Baywatch / Bondi rescue appearances ?? Honestly the scar is better than I’d expected - 100% better than before.
I remained in hospital under Prof Berney/ Dr Moollan’s watchful care. Absolutely minimal pain if any experienced throughout.
Post surgery 2 months (wearing Binder), I’ve had my 2nd review and all going very well and I have gone from a 2XL to wearing a Large pair of trousers. I can bend / twist move, walk pain free. Tummy is firming up due to the Botox wearing off.
Thank you Prof Berney / Dr Moolan and Dr Leggett for agreeing to conduct surgery on my broken body. You have not only delivered but exceeded my expectations- thank-you for taking away the pain, cramps and sleepiness nights.
Previous to my visit I had provided Dr Burney with recent Ultrasound /MRI / Reports / Pathology etc…. I wanted him to be as informed about my condition as possible and provide me (like the others) his expert surgical assessment.
My initial meeting with him was tough love -
“Stop smoking - lose weight and I’ll do my best to fix you !” He was very respectful - and honest with me. He didn’t sugarcoat anything and advised me of all of the risks of this complex surgery.
I believed Prof Berney was my best option of success given the 4 surgeons I had consulted. He explained his approach in detail that I could understand and took time doing so.
After accepting Prof Berney’s terms I booked in for surgery.
I returned to him and underwent BTI day surgery @ Waratah Private - this was pain free. I rested at home for the next 2.5 weeks, lost a little more weight and returned for the big day.
Surgery day came around quickly and I couldn’t wait- Botox had done its job and back was killing me - tummy wax like jelly.

I have been patient of Dr Berney for about 20 months. I had a paraoesophageal Hiatus Hernia; with no symptoms or pain just low iron count.
I had it repaired 16 months ago, experienced no pain after the surgery and was allowed home on the fourth day after the surgery.
Dr Berney has very good communication skills, explained everything and when speaking to my son after the surgery was very informative about how the surgery went.
He is a very experienced surgeon, and he follows-up the surgery with regular check-ups. I was in good hands.
I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Prof Berney operated on me twice for a hernia - once 6 years ago, and on the other side recently. Both surgeries were done with great skill, professionalism and care. Prof Berney is a real gentleman and has a warm and very encouraging manner. Highly recommended

My mum, family, and I would like to express our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to Professor Berney for his kindness, professionalism, attention to detail, knowledge, assertiveness, reassurance, and skill when he operated on my mum early August 2023. Professor Berney went above and beyond his duty of care, ensuring the wellbeing and safety of my mum.
Truly Professor Berney was a Godsent doctor, an expert in his field and we cannot recommend him highly enough.
God bless you Professor Berney.

My wife was in Bankstown hospital following a severe gallbladder attack. She was admitted under Dr Berney and after being in hospital for a week she did not want to have the gallbladder removed straight away and so she went on to a waiting list. She had a few more mild attacks and was then able to have the gallbladder removal surgery. She was very grateful to Dr Berney for fast-tracking her operation after waiting for close to three months. The operation went very well without any complications and was discharged the following morning. She recovered very quickly and hardly had to use any pain killers. Two days later she was in the club enjoying food that she was unable to eat prior to the gallbladder surgery. She was very thankful to Dr Berney for his skill and ability and that there was no scarring.

Prof Chris Berney operated on my 89 year old dad who had a hernia repair & appendix removed. He did a great job. We were very happy with how the procedure went.

I would like to thank Prof Chris Berney and his team for looking after me when I had my para-oesophageal Hernia operation in May 2018 I recently had my follow-up five years later and he was very pleased with the result and no further complications were found. I would highly recommend Prof Chris Berney to anyone who maybe needs this operation, he is a master in this field and you can be confident in his ability.

I am a 78-year old male who recently underwent surgery for two hernias using laparoscopic or keyhole surgery by Dr. Chris Berney. The operation was minimally invasive using 3 very small holes in the abdomen which healed within a week with outstanding results - I was back playing golf within a month and experienced no pain from the procedure. I stayed only one night in hospital and was home the day after the surgery. I highly commend Dr. Berney to anyone needing surgery for a hernia and am testimony to the fact that laparoscopic surgery is suitable for healthy older individuals for the repair of hernias.

Professor Berney's manner, professionalism and expertise put all my concerns to rest. The patient care I received before, during and after the surgery was exceptional. I would also like to comment on the quality of service and professionalism provided by Morgan was fantastic.
I made the correct decision in regards to my surgery requirements and extremely happy with the results.

Dr Berney is the absolute best in his field his skills, kindness and care is phenomenal and I can’t thank him enough for fixing my dad. He operated on my 75 year old father who had a complex hernia on his stomach (15x21cm) with absolute precision and care. My father had waited in a rural hospital for over 2 years for the procedure, when it came time, they realised it was too large and dangerous to undergo in a country hospital. My dad was then referred to a private doctor who quoted him over $50k for the surgery as an out of pocket fee. Desperate for a better outcome, I did some research and called Dr Berney. I can honestly say it was the best decision of my life. Dr Berney is extremely knowledgeable, honest , efficient and highly skilled. The team is fantastic at communicating all the steps and procedures leading up to surgery. The hospital provided excellent care during the surgery considering the size of the hernia. After care was exceptional. Dr Berney is a master craftsman and I cannot recommend him enough for someone that you love.

After being hospitalized 5 times and seeing another gastrointestinal Dr I went to Prof Berney after he had operated on my Mum years earlier . Boy am I glad that I did . Every Dr I'd seen in the past 12 months were unable to help me and didn't know how to help me . Within 5 mins of talking with Prof Berney for the first time he knew exactly what needed to be done .
Prof Berney performed a colectomy and fixed what no-one else could . I ended up spending 6 weeks in hospital , not due to surgical complications in any way , Prof Berney was there every day and did everything he had to to get me back on my feet .
This is one specialist who actually CARE'S. He's not only a fantastic Dr , he's a fantastic person . I don't have the words to express how thankful I am , the Professor saved my life .
You're a lucky person if you choose Prof Berney to be your Doctor , you won't find anyone better for all aspects of your treatment , he is a great man .
Thanks for everything Prof Berney .

Professor Christophe Berney is the ultimate professional who takes great pride in his work.
Professor Berney always made sure i was comfortable and he always asked if i had any questions to which his answers always put me at ease.
Professor Berney took his time thoroughly explaining the procedures and the steps, not once did he try to rush me.
Professor Berney gave me alot of confidence hence why i chose to go ahead with him for the surgery, he was my second opinion and luckily i got that second opinion.
The first surgeon i got referred to didn't give me that confidence, hence why i got a second opinion.
Professor Berney and his team were great pre-surgery, during surgery and post-surgery.
It was my first inguinal hernia operation and as a self employed business owner i didn't need any more stress or anxiety.
I just wanted a smooth, hassle free operation and consultations without any added stress and thats exactly what i got by seeing Professor Berney.
Professor Berney and his staff were always polite, respectful and very friendly.
I highly recommend Professor Berney to anyone considering operating on a hernia or any other surgery that he might do.
His experience is second to none the Professor is a pioneer of his industry.
Thanks again Professor Berney and team
God bless 🙏

I’m a 75 year old man. I was referred to Prof Berney after being offered open surgery for a hernia that was increasing in size alarmingly. I was told that open surgery was preferred for older men but I wanted to opt for lapiscopic surgery. Prof Berney explained the advantages of key hole surgery for hernia repair and was able to put me his list the following week. The surgery was accomplished with the minimum of fuss, for me, though clearly with great skill by Prof Berney as I recovered with only minor discomfort in the first week. It’s now six weeks since the operation and I am not aware of any pain or discomfort at all and have resumed my full exercise regime of swimming, walking, running and weight training.

In my time of need I have had the very good fortune to be under the professional care of Professor C Berney to repair my hiatus hernia by laparoscopic surgery in December 2019, this was his last for that year and I was scheduled in to avoid waiting some time till he was back at work in 2020 and this was very much appreciated from my part.
I cannot speak highly enough of the manner in which Dr Berney and his team, in the hospital and in the office, has taken care of me right from the original consultation and the operation pre and post.
Dr. Berney called my son immediately after the operation to report the success and he also requested that my home carer come to the hospital to meet with him for special instructions particularly as regards diet.
To date I have had yearly monitoring since then with excellent results. Dr Berney has always reported in detail and been forthcoming in providing written documentation and endoscopy images for my records.
I have absolutely no hesitation in highly recommending Professor Christophe Berney and his team to anyone requiring his professional expertise for surgery and on-going care.

2023 - Recently I had an umbilical hernia fixed by Prof Berney. I know this is routine surgery, however I was petrified. Prof Berney took the time and explained everything to me, and through the whole experience both himself and his team are extremely accommodating. He really cares for his patient's. I can not recommend enough. As for my surgery, it went really well. I was up and about a few days after and back to normal activities within a week. It's not often you get someone as genuine as Prof Berney. 5 star.

"I could not be more pleased with Prof Berney's repair of my sizeable groin hernia."! His expertise and profound knowledge of his specialty is "Par Excellence." He has a wonderfully warm bedside manner and fills you with the utmost confidence in the procedure he recommends to repair a groin hernia. I had NO abdominal "black bruising," (that can occur) minimal post operative pain/discomfort and I healed beautifully in the quickest time.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Prof Berney to perform surgery to successfully repair a groin hernia.

I have had many hospital admissions during the last 4 years due to my diabetes/thyroid issues, however, this year I had an added complication of a small bowel obstruction.
After seeing numerous Gastroenterologist Registrars/Doctors, all of whom enter the room with a posse of students for them to sprout my symptoms and tell me they are looking into it, but not actually talking to me as a person, more so as one more patient to tick off their list of To Do items, in walked Professor Berney - my saviour!!!
Professor Berney was from the very beginning the first (apart from my Endocrinologist) whom spoke to me like a real person and actually actively listened to me regarding my symptoms and concerns. I cannot express how calming and soothing he was.
He too did not have all the answers at that given moment, but I felt safe knowing I was under his care. After a Double Balloon Colonscopy was completed and another hospital admission with small bowel obstruction complication, Professor Berney completed a small bowel re-section.
Yet again, he was reassuring and I felt like I was in an expert's care. The surgery and follow up have gone without any further complications and all issues are now resolved.
I honesly cannot speak more highly of Professor Berney. All of this professionalism, skill, personality and he is so handsome to boot!!! What more could you ask for?
Thank you, thank you, thank you Professor Berney from the bottom of my heart.

He explained everything very clearly.
His follow-up after surgery was prompt and comforting.
I would recommend him highly.

Thank you Professor Berney! Excellent results! I am extremely grateful for your surgical expertise on my laparoscopic ventrical hernia surgery.
Some pain and bruising for the first five days which I was assured was normal and would subside...and it absolutely did.
After my follow up and just two months after surgery, I am fully recovered. Only three small scars on my abdomen which will fade over time.
Additionally, I can't thank Bankstown Hospital enough! The nursing staff and Doctors were exceptionally helpful and I must admit I had a very good day!
Thank you all so much!

Dr. Berney is a consummate professional. I was referred to him for a hernia and underwent laparoscopic surgery shortly after. Dr. Berney took the time during my initial consultation and following surgery to answer every question I had, in detail. Nothing felt rushed or clinical. In fact, we spoke at length on a few occasions and his interest in both my recovery as well as continually improving this specialty field was evident. I don’t know the intricacies of surgery, but I believe his skill and technique is excellent. Notwithstanding what I expected post-op, I was up and moving the next day and good to go by the fourth. Most importantly, I haven’t felt any residual pain since. I’d highly recommend Dr. Berney.
