DR CORINNE JONES
SPECIALIST BREAST SURGEON
Dr Corinne Jones, MBBS FRACS FRCS, is a senior specialist breast surgeon with 25 years of consultant experience, who offers a multidisciplinary service dedicated to breast patients at St John of God Hospital (SJOGH), Subiaco. She has worked there since 2008. She has extensive knowledge in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, including Breast Screen WA detected cancers, benign and borderline breast lumps, abnormal calcifications, nipple discharge and breast infections. From late 2022 she has enhanced her practice working sessions with the Breast Service at Fiona Stanley Hospital.
All Subiaco breast cancer cases and complex non-cancer cases are discussed at the weekly SJOGH Subiaco, Breast Multidisciplinary Team Meeting (MDM or MDT).
Dr Jones achieves excellent cosmetic results adding some oncoplastic techniques, while considering the best current treatment options and long term outcomes. She offers some of the latest operating methods including axillary sentinel lymph node biopsy, targeted axillary dissection (TAD), magseed and hookwire guided breast lump removal and in selected cases, intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT).
Dr Jones works closely with plastic surgeons to provide mastectomy patients with the full range of breast reconstruction options (immediate and delayed), both implant and tissue based (usually DIEP flaps).
Dr Jones was the first woman born and raised in Perth, WA, to graduate in medicine from the University of Western Australia (UWA), become a surgical trainee and obtain a Fellowship from the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons.
During the early 2000s she undertook post fellowship training in breast and thyroid surgery in Glasgow and Sheffield UK. She completed a 12 month endocrine fellowship in Poitiers, France in 2004. She was director of the Breast Unit and established a Thyroid Service at Pilgrim Hospital, Boston, England, UK, from December 2004 until she returned to Perth in mid 2008.
After that time, she worked in the Breast Clinic at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital until the end of 2009. She simultaneously started her private breast and thyroid practice at SJOGH Subiaco. This continued as a combined practice until she ceased thyroid work in July 2023.
When not caring for patients (which is not very often), Dr Jones enjoys cooking, sharing meals with family and friends, playing Scrabble, reading and listening to crime and historical novels.
