MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery)

FANZCA (Fellow of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists)

Dr Justin Swierczek is a specialist anaesthetist who is committed to delivering safe, thoughtful anaesthetic care with an emphasis on comfort, clear communication, and recovery. He recognises that undergoing surgery can feel overwhelming and prioritises helping patients feel informed, reassured, and supported at every stage of their care.

Dr Swierczek began his medical training with a Bachelor of Medical Sciences at the University of Western Ontario, before relocating to Australia to complete his medical degree (MBBS) at the University of Queensland. He undertook his specialist anaesthetic training in southeast Queensland and is a Fellow of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (FANZCA).

A strong interest in Regional Anaesthesia developed early in his training and was further refined through completion of a sub-specialty Fellowship at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital. Dr Swierczek regularly incorporates regional anaesthetic techniques into his practice, including Ultrasound-Guided approaches where appropriate, as well as Specialised Regional Techniques used in eye surgery. Regional Anaesthesia plays an important role in pain management for Orthopaedic Procedures, Breast Cancer Surgery, Ophthalmology, and many other surgical specialties, helping to improve postoperative comfort and support smoother recovery.

Dr Swierczek works as a Staff Specialist Anaesthetist at Sunshine Coast University Hospital and provides anaesthetic care across all Sunshine Coast public hospitals. He also works extensively in private hospitals throughout the region. His broad scope of practice allows him to care for patients undergoing a wide variety of surgical procedures in both public and private settings.

Outside of medicine, Dr Swierczek enjoys running, climbing, cooking, and spending time outdoors. He values time with his wife and two children and appreciates the balance that an active lifestyle and family life bring beyond work.
