Michael's commitment to improving the quality of life for his patients is evident in his approach to challenging the status quo and finding better ways of doing things. He finds great satisfaction in witnessing the positive impact his treatments have on people's lives.
In addition to his work in New Zealand, Michael is actively involved with the International Society of Gynaecological Endoscopy. He travels internationally to share his knowledge and teach surgeons in developing countries, while also training and mentoring the next generation of local specialists.
Michael's journey in the medical field began in 1980 when he moved to New Zealand from the United Kingdom. After working as a house surgeon, he became a registrar at Christchurch Women's Hospital in 1983. His specialist training took him to both Christchurch and the UK, where he obtained a Mastership in Obstetrics and Gynaecology from the University of Liverpool. In 1988, Michael and his family settled in Christchurch.
As a leading specialist in Minimal Access Surgery, Michael focuses on laparoscopic and hysteroscopic procedures. These minimally invasive techniques offer numerous advantages, including more precise surgery, reduced post-operative discomfort, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times.
Laparoscopic surgery involves inserting a telescopic camera through the tummy button (umbilicus) to perform various procedures. Hysteroscopic surgery, on the other hand, involves inserting a telescope into the uterus for precise diagnosis and treatment of women with irregular vaginal bleeding.
Michael performs surgeries at Ascot Hospital, where you will be admitted by experienced nursing staff in the pre-admission area. Graeme, a highly skilled anaesthetist, will meet with you before your procedure and ensure your comfort and safety in the operating room.
For those in Christchurch, Michael also offers appointments at Oxford Women's Health. Please click here to arrange a Christchurch appointment.

Reviews
"Great as always. Linda was with my former specialist Dr Liddell and is now with Dr East. Both are amazing, great customer service and always as helpful as can be. Dr East also has a great bedside manner."
"Such a great team Michael and Linda. They have both been wonderful with my Autistic teen the last few years"
"The receptionist is absolutely horrible. I asked my gp to send a referral letter for insurance to their office, and when I then emailed the Michael East receptionist asking for a copy of this referral, she refused to give it to me. I then called at a later date to again try get it sent to me, and from the receptionist I received a snobby, condescending attitude, and she yet again refused to send me the referral from my gp, saying she couldn’t understand why I was wasting her time asking for it when I can get it from my gp who sent it instead. Disgusting attitude. Would never recommend this place to anyone EVER."
"This feedback is about the reception. I did not progress to see Michael East because of the behaviour and tone conveyed to me while enquiring about an appointment. I chose to contact via the methods promoted on the website to find out 1, The cost of an initial consult, and 2, How long that consult would be. I was in pain and severely impacted by the temporary loss of function in my right (dominant hand) among other health problems. I chose to send through the two questions via email. They refused to give me this information and kept pushing me to make an appt by calling them even thought at that stage I never said I wanted an appt. They were blunt, condescending in tone, and rude.I explained why I didn’t want to call, which was the reasons above and that I wanted the info to decide if I wanted an appt. The issue went back and forth resulting in them often saying they “were too busy to send a reply to me by email.” Which I find a completely strange and an unusual argument especially when I had given valid reason why, which I shouldnt even have to do. From my experience they did not match the standard of service compared to other private clinics. Based on the behaviour of the interaction I did not choose to go any further. On a more personal note, when you are exhausted and in pain coming across these types of people who are in key positions of communication with patients, patients who are often very unwell and have been for a long time, it can be extremely detrimental to your health and ability to advocate for yourself when you behave this way to patients. If you need help in understand and up-skilling in how to communicate with patients (your customers) better than you are welcome to reach out to me anytime."
"I have received the best care and customer service from Dr. East and his amazing practice manager Linda. I'm grateful that I finally found someone who took my concerns to heart and made sure I got the treatment I deserved."
