Dr Corinne Jones

Overview

I am a senior, specialist surgeon and run a full time private practice dedicated to breast disease, at St John of God Hospital Subiaco in Perth WA. I have extensive experience in the diagnosis and management of breast cancer, symptomatic and Breast Screen detected, as well as benign breast conditions such as fibroadenomas, phyllodes tumours, breast cysts, nipple discharge and breast abscess.

My practice is enhanced by consultant sessions with the Breast Service at Fiona Stanley Hospital.

I work closely with specialist colleagues to provide multidisciplinary care to the highest possible standard. All breast cancers and complex non-cancerous cases, are discussed at a Multidisciplinary Team Meeting (MDT or MDM).

I aim to provide excellent cosmetic results, while considering the best current treatment and long term outcomes. I offer some of the latest operating techniques including axillary sentinel lymph node biopsy, targeted axillary dissection, magseed and hookwire guided breast lump removal, intraoperative radiotherapy IORT. I work closely with plastic surgeons to provide mastectomy patients with the full range of breast reconstruction options, both implant and tissue based including DIEP flaps.

I was the first woman born and raised in Perth, WA to become a surgical trainee and obtain a Fellowship from the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. During the early 2000s I undertook post fellowship training in breast and thyroid surgery in Glasgow and Sheffield UK. I completed a 12 month endocrine fellowship in Poitiers, France in 2004. While director of the Breast Unit I established a Thyroid Service at the Pilgrim Hospital, Boston, UK, from December 2004 until my return to Perth in mid 2008. While in the Breast Clinic at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital from 2008 to 2009 I commenced my breast and thyroid surgery practice and ceased thyroid work in July 2023.

When not caring for patients, I enjoy cooking, sharing meals with family and friends, playing Scrabble and reading and listening to crime and historical novels.
