About

Specialist Upper Limb Orthopaedic Surgeon — Brisbane 

If you’re dealing with pain or problems in your shoulder, elbow, wrist, or hand, I’m here to help. I specialise in treating a wide range of upper limb conditions, including arthritis, nerve issues, tendon injuries, fractures, and joint instability. 

Whether you need elective surgery or urgent care for injuries like broken bones or dislocations, I provide expert treatment tailored to you.  I’m also trained in microsurgery, which means I can repair delicate nerves and blood vessels when injuries are more complex.

Shoulder surgery is a particular passion of mine. I specialise in minimally invasive procedures to repair rotator cuff tears and shoulder instability, but what I find most fulfilling is performing open surgeries like joint replacements and complex revision surgeries. 

You can consult with me at Brisbane Private Hospital in the city or Mater Health Centre in Cleveland. If surgery is needed, I perform operations at Brisbane Private Hospital, The Wesley Hospital, and Mater Private Hospital Redland. 

I completed my medical training at the University of Tasmania and became an Orthopaedic Surgeon in 2009. Since then, I’ve further specialised in hand surgery in Sydney, shoulder surgery in Milan with Prof. Alessandro Castagna, and upper limb surgery at Princess Alexandra Hospital here in Brisbane.

Outside of private practice, I enjoy giving back to the community by working at Princess Alexandra Hospital, where I help train junior doctors, contribute to research, and improve care for Queenslanders. I’m also honoured to serve as President of the Queensland Hand Surgery Society.

When I’m not at work, I’m busy being a Dad and Husband. If I’m not driving the kids to sports, you’ll probably find me lost in a good book.  Our family loves beach days and camping trips, and any spare time I have is spent daydreaming about fishing… and plotting how to convince my wife I really need that boat!  

Now that you know a bit about me, I’d really like to hear your story. Whenever you’re ready, let’s have a chat about what’s important to you, including your work, your daily life, and the goals you want to achieve. Living with pain or limited movement can take so much away from your everyday life, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. Many of my patients tell me they wish they had seen me sooner.
