Breast Cancer
From diagnosis to treatment, reconstruction to surveillance — clear explanations of what every stage actually means for you and your family.
Menopause & HRT
Perimenopause, menopause, hormone therapy, and all the questions your GP might not have time to answer. Evidence-based and jargon-free.

New Videos every Week
I break down the research, explain the procedures, and answer the questions that matter most — in plain language, without the jargon. No medical degree required.
About Dr Alex
A surgeon who believes you deserve to understand what's happening in your own body
I'm originally from Croatia, and my family moved to New Zealand in 1995. I trained in medicine at Otago University, completed my surgical training across New Zealand, and sub-specialised in Breast and Endocrine Surgery in Sydney. Since 2013, I've been working as a consultant surgeon in the Wellington region.
I started this channel because I kept seeing the same thing in my clinic: brilliant, capable women who had been given information they couldn't use. Complex words, rushed appointments, no room for questions. This is my attempt to fix that — one video at a time.
