OUR TEAM
Dr. Maja Segedi
General, HPB and Liver Transplant Surgeon, Fellowship Program Director
As a Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary and Liver Transplant Surgeon at VGH I strive to empower my patients and help them feel in control of their well-being and their surgical journey. My passion is making people’s lives better through considerate surgical management of their disease. My guiding core values are respect, kindness, innovation, and the pursuit of excellence.
My busy Vancouver practice is balanced with my other passion, my family. With the help of my husband we balance the demands of an active family life with two small children. We enjoy attending community cultural events, skiing, and travelling when possible. English is my primary language, and I’m fluent in Serbian, Slovak, and Rusyn having been born and raised in Eastern Europe.
​
“Know yourself, your values, and priorities (they are your compass). Be kind and humble in your interactions with patients, colleagues and yourself. Be the main director of your life story—you only get one.”
