Allied with Nelson Day Surgery, Tasman Day Surgery builds on twenty years of day surgery experience in the Nelson and Tasman regions.
Tasman Day Surgery offers an excellent option in private surgical care. The new hospital opened in March 2022 and was developed in response to the population growth in the region, and desire to provide Tasman residents a local option for surgical care.
Whilst endoscopy is a specialist focus of Tasman Day Surgery, due to New Zealand’s need to increase bowel cancer screening, we provide a full day hospital service within a compassionate, friendly and caring environment.
We are located in Lower Queen Street, Richmond, close to the racecourse, with plenty of parking available.
