Meet Dr. Richard Flint

I’m an independent surgeon in Christchurch with a passion for helping people get their health back.

Let’s get your health concerns sorted properly.

When patients come to me, I understand they’ve often been on a long journey with their health.


My priority is to provide clear answers and solutions. I take time to look deeper to find out what’s really going on, ensuring we go into surgery with as few unknowns as possible for the best outcome. This includes thorough preparation beforehand and attentive follow-up care.

20+ years of caring for patients

I’m an independent surgeon with a public and private practice in Christchurch. I work at Christchurch Hospital (consultant general surgeon) and run my private practices from Christchurch General Surgery, Christchurch Weight Loss Surgery, and Southern Endoscopy Centre.

“It’s a big step for someone to put their health in my hands and I take that responsibility seriously, making sure every detail is considered, and they are fully informed of every step of the process.”
