About Lakeview Private Hospital
Hospital for Specialist Surgery (HSS) is a world-class multidisciplinary private hospital that sets a new standard in patient-focused healthcare.
Lakeview Private Hospital Description
Hospital for Specialist Surgery (HSS) is designed and operated by 48 specialist doctors committed to delivering excellence in patient care.
From the outset, our vision has been to build a hospital where the philosophy of Patients First is instilled from the ground up. HSS realises that vision in ways the corporate and public sectors cannot match.
Impressively large operating theatres, state-of-the-art equipment, outstanding rehabilitation facilities and a comprehensive network of integrated services mean our health personnel are working in an environment where they can be at their very best.
Compassionate and highly skilled care coupled with integrated facilities — such as on-site specialist consulting suites, radiology and pathology — make for an exceptional, convenient and seamless patient experience. The contemporary environment has been carefully designed to play a healing role for patients and their visitors.
Quite simply, HSS marks an exciting new era in the delivery of health services for Sydney’s fast growing nor-west region.

Talented specialist doctors, nurses and allied health professionals work with the very latest in technical equipment to deliver compassionate care of the highest quality. Our five star accommodation is set to impress with generously-sized light-filled rooms; many with stunning views across the tranquil lake and beyond.

In-patient and out-patient rehabilitation, on-site social workers, and ongoing health and well-being programs are just some of the ways HSS provides patients with continuity of care. With so many integrated facilities — including radiology and pathology labs, and an on-site pharmacy — a trip to hospital has never been more simple or convenient.
It all adds up to a deep commitment to the philosophy of Patients First.
Reviews
Today, our rehabilitation patients were treated to a lovely afternoon tea put on by our rehab and allied health teams for April Falls Day!
This year, we focused on nutrition and hydration; eating well to prevent falls. Eating a balanced diet with adequate energy and protein is important for maintaining muscle mass and muscle strength to reduce the risk of muscle wastage, frailty and fall-related injury.
Our patients learnt about the pillars of a balanced diet from our nutritionist, Meera, as well as the importance of vitamin D from Sanofi Rep, Annie Teng.
Our friends at Sports Physio at HSS are currently running this great rehab program which includes use of our highly acclaimed hydrotherapy pool! Check out the details below or give them a call on 8711 0190
