He is able to offer this high standard of care to his patients through his choice to practice in a private clinic environment in Ashfield, New South Wales.

Whilst his surgical procedures are performed at the state-of-the-art Sydney Private Hospital and the Sebban Eye Centre, Dr Den provides all pre-operative and post-operative care in the small and personalised environment of his own facility, Ashfield Eye Clinic.

A firm believer in the importance of fostering high levels of patient confidence and emotional comfort, consulting with his patients in this environment provides the opportunity for informative and highly productive surgeon-and-patient communication.
