Our Practice Mantra

Be Accessibile
At Southern OMS we pride ourselves on seeing our patients when they need us. Whether it be emergency treatment or questions after your procedure we will always be there for our patients.

Able Staff, At Their Best
Quality outcomes for our patients are a reflection of our staff. This starts with our surgeon who is supported by an exceptionally experienced nursing and management team.

Communication
This is one of the cornerstones at Southern OMS. Effective communication with both patients and staff allows us to provide the best treatment available to our patients.
Our team
Surgeon
Mr Angus Cameron
BDS MBChB FRACDS (OMS)
Southern OMS is owned and operated by Mr Angus Cameron. It is a completely independent clinic and Angus is involved with the care of each and every patient.
He is a graduate of Otago University, acquiring degrees in both Dentistry and Medicine. Advanced surgical training was undertaken throughout New Zealand. Angus then worked as a full-time Consultant Surgeon at Auckland District Health Board.
Finally he took up a fellowship position at the prestigious Royal Melbourne Hospital, sub-specialising in trauma and orthognathic surgery. This has given him a well rounded and unique skill set. From this experience he has been able to develop his special interest in jaw correctional surgery.
Now back home in Christchurch with his family, Angus has setup a state of the art surgical facility. Southern OMS is a patient focused practice that prides itself on providing people with a relaxed and pain-free experience. By offering both advanced sedation and general anaesthetic operating lists, Southern OMS can cater to all patients.
