Stephanie Ulmer

Stephanie Ulmer Bariatric (Obesity), Breast and General Surgeon Surgeon Stephanie Ulmer is an expert in bariatric (weight loss) surgery as well as breast and general surgery. She has spent a lot of her career dedicated to weight loss surgery and the outcomes that can be achieved for her patients. Stephanie completed her surgical training in 2006, where she gained specialist expertise in Australia utilising many different forms of laparoscopic weight loss surgery.

Upon returning to New Zealand after her training she worked as a consultant and started up BetterLife Surgery. 

Since starting BetterLife Surgery, Stephanie has completed over 300 Bariatric procedures.

Stephanie takes immense satisfaction from the life-changing experience that surgery brings to her patients.

“I love Bariatric Surgery and the potential it gives my patients to realise their own potential. For so many people their weight is a major issue - whether this is physical, emotional or both - and it doesn't have to be that way. I love the journey that patients go on with this surgery. From the first consultation through to following up my patients years after their operation it is a privilege to be part of that journey. The challenges are significant, but the rewards are even bigger both for me, as the Surgeon and for
my patients."

She performs most of her weight loss surgeries at Ormiston Hospital and is now consulting from Ormiston Specialist Centre.
