Dr Alex Nesbitt is an Australian-trained Specialist Urologist providing
comprehensive care across the full spectrum of adult urology, from routine
conditions through to complex robotic surgery.
After completing medical school on the Gold Coast, Alex undertook specialist
urology training throughout Queensland and Melbourne before working as a
consultant urologist in Melbourne. He then completed an advanced fellowship
in robotic urological surgery at Nottingham University Hospitals in England
and has now returned to establish his full-time practice serving the Gold Coast
and Northern NSW community.
Alex is known for his calm, reassuring approach and his ability to explain
complex medical problems in plain English. He believes every patient should
leave a consultation with a clear understanding of their diagnosis, treatment
options and the next steps in their care.
Telehealth video and phone consultations are available where appropriate,
helping reduce travel and inconvenience and improve accessibility.
Outside work, Alex enjoys spending time with his wife and two young sons,
travelling and keeping active.
