Mr Habib Rahman is a General Surgeon with special interests in the following:
• Endocrine disorders
• Gastrointestinal disorders

Mr Rahman is employed by Counties Manukau Health specialising in these disorders.
While the name would suggest that the focus of general surgery is to perform operations, often this is not the case. Many patients are referred to surgeons with conditions that do not need surgical procedures, but merely require counselling or medical treatment.
