THE AVOCA CLINIC LIMITED - Key Persons


Dr Dejan Simicevic

Dr. Dejan is an extremely sought-after surgeon, renowned for his incredible work ethic. This comes from his time in the army, where he had to decide between the military and medicine. Lucky for us, medicine won. After university, he chose plastic surgery as his medical speciality. He has significant expertise and interest in working with victims of trauma, helping them to restore their bodies, health and well-being. He has been granted full specialist registration with the Irish Medical Council for plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, and is a member of the Croatian Medical Chambers and Croatian Plastic Surgery Association. He is also an affiliated member of the American Association of Plastic Surgeons. Interestingly, Dr. Dejan was invited to compete in ‘Dancing with the Stars' in Croatia but unfortunately, Covid struck and he was unable to showcase his dancing prowess! He now lives with his wife Daria in Greystones Co Wicklow, where he enjoys playing guitar, biking and hiking.
