Practice information

I am a solo, fully independent hip and knee specialist with only one priority - to
provide the highest quality of care to my patients.

Every patient is an individual and is treated as such. I will choose from a variety of
surgical techniques and joint prostheses so as to achieve for each patient the best
result in as safe a manner as possible.

Your consultation will not be hurried, there is no production line. You will meet one
doctor - your surgeon. As your surgeon, I will carry out your operation "skin to skin"
not an assistant.

Post-operatively I am available to monitor and supervise your recovery in the hospital,
the rehab hospital and after discharge. Patients are always welcome to call with any enquires or concerns before or after surgery.

You may notice I ask you questions which seem unrelated to your "orthopaedic"
problem. So as to advise you properly, I need to know about your general health, occupation, and usual activities or lifestyle. This information all assists in the choice
of the best treatment - for you.

Your family doctor is a vital link, in looking after you as a whole, and co-ordinating the activities of specialists such as myself. I respect the views of your doctor. I will communicate with your doctor and your other specialists as needed.

If I detect a problem of a non-orthopaedic nature I will let you know and suggest appropriate referral, in consultation with your GP.

Surgery is carried out with a dedicated team: a highly skilled Anaesthetist, an
experienced Assistant Surgeon, and specialised Theatre Nurses who are well versed
in the complex equipment used. This allows a consistent and safe performance of
surgical procedures.

" This refers to private patients. Public or Medicare patients will have junior doctors involved in their care under my supervision.
