His surgical expertise is also applied at Austin Health and the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. He is dedicated to delivering prompt, unwavering, empathetic, and high-calibre care to his patients, upholding these principles at the core of his practice.

Graduating from the University of Melbourne in 2007 with degrees in Medicine/Surgery and Medical Science, Dr Liu embarked on specialised training in General Surgery in 2011.

In pursuit of advanced skills in Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery, he underwent additional training through the prestigious AANZGOSA program at institutions like Flinders Medical Centre in South Australia and Austin Hospital in Victoria.

Dr Liu is a true specialist in various aspects of Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery, with a particular focus on the treatment of oesophageal and stomach cancers. His team employs cutting-edge approaches for personalised preoperative and postoperative care, alongside utilising endoscopic, minimally-invasive, and open surgical techniques to manage these conditions.

Beyond his core expertise, Dr Liu provides comprehensive management for a wide array of upper gut disorders, including acid-reflux, hiatus hernias, achalasia, and pharyngeal pouches. He is adept at handling general surgical concerns such as gallstones, abdominal wall hernias, and various growths.

Dr Liu's dedication extends to research, education, and pioneering service methods. His extensive portfolio boasts over 80 published works, active involvement in shaping clinical practice guidelines, and a strong research track record. He takes the lead in multiple collaborative national and international projects, all aimed at providing the most reliable evidence to guide safe and effective surgical procedures.
