Celebrity neurosurgeon Dr Charlie Teo has been accused of giving “opportunistically untruthful” evidence at a disciplinary hearing, as well as lacking empathy and insight.

Dr Teo fronted a NSW Health Care Complaints Commission inquiry in Sydney on Tuesday to defend brain tumour surgeries he performed on two women, from which they never recovered.
