Specialties

  • Orthopaedic Surgery

I am an experienced Orthopaedic Surgeon with a special interest in Hip and Knee surgery as well as managing fractures and soft tissue injuries in both the upper and lower limbs.

My focus is on ensuring my patients achieve the best outcome for their condition by providing a holistic and team oriented approach to their care. Orthopaedics is about giving patients a pain free return to full function and I look forward to caring for the local community in the south east of Melbourne.

My practice is based on a multi-disciplinary approach where I work alongside a patient’s General Practitioner, Physiotherapist and other Allied Health professionals to achieve a smooth recovery from their musculoskeletal injury.

I have undertaken subspecialist training in Hip and Knee replacement surgery at world leading centres in the United Kingdom and Europe. I have a special interest in Robotic and Computer Navigated surgery as well as using minimally invasive approaches to assist in early post operative recovery.

Apart from Hip and Knee surgery I also have a subspecialty interest in Fracture management of the upper and lower limbs in both Adults and Children.

I am passionate about providing evidence-based, personalised care for my patients. My team and I look forward to meeting you at one of our Consulting locations.
