Meet Dr Maged Aziz
Dr Maged Aziz is the founder of Advanced Vascular and a Vascular and Endovascular Specialist Surgeon who also holds fellowship qualifications in General Surgery, allowing him to draw on training in both specialties when assessing and treating patients. It means that when he assesses a patient, he’s drawing on two complete surgical perspectives rather than one, and it’s shaped the way he practises ever since.
Two Fellowships, One Determined Path
Dr Aziz graduated from Alexandria University in Egypt in 1993 before travelling to New Zealand to begin his surgical career. He trained first in General Surgery, earning his Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS) in 2006, at a point most surgeons would consider their training complete. Instead, he went straight back to studying, this time in Vascular Surgery, gaining a second FRACS fellowship in 2009.
The two disciplines share little common ground (open surgical technique on one side, ultrasound, catheters and endovascular skills on the other), which made the second fellowship every bit as demanding as the first.
He moved to Brisbane in 2011 to continue his surgical career, working across major tertiary hospitals in Brisbane before moving into full-time private practice in 2014. In 2016, he brought together what had previously been several separate practices across Brisbane and Ipswich to form Advanced Vascular, with a clear focus on making specialist vein care easier to access.

Still Teaching, Still Learning
Dr Aziz lectured at the University of Queensland until 2014 and continues to teach surgical registrars and vascular fellows in hospitals around the country. For more than sixteen years, he has also worked as a case auditor, reviewing surgical outcomes across Brisbane and New Zealand to help improve safety and practice standards, work that has kept his clinical judgement sharp well beyond his own training.
An Honest Assessment, Every Time
Dr Aziz prides himself on giving every patient a clear, accurate picture of what’s actually going on, not just with their veins, but with the symptoms that brought them in. If your veins aren’t the cause of what’s bothering you, he’ll tell you. If treatment isn’t going to help, he won’t recommend it. Every scan is performed and reviewed by Dr Aziz personally, so patients are never left guessing about their own results.
Family First
Dr Aziz met his wife Debbie in the small New Zealand town of Timaru in 1997 and the two married a few years later. Debbie now manages Advanced Vascular alongside him, making it a genuinely family run practice where patients can reach the team directly, evenings and weekends included.
Together they have raised three children, and Dr Aziz will happily admit he’s enormously proud of all of them. Daniel has completed his degree in Electrical Engineering and is based in Brisbane. Emma is completing her Dentistry degree in Cairns. And Jacob is currently studying a double degree in Law and Politics, Philosophy and Economics at the Australian National University.

Outside the Clinic
When he’s not in surgery, Dr Aziz is usually somewhere near the water. Fishing and hunting have been long-standing passions, and teaching his children to tie a fishing line has become one of his favourite ways to pass the time with them. He’s quick to note the parallel: the same patience and precision that goes into a well-placed suture goes into a well-tied knot, just with considerably lower stakes.
