I have a particular interest and decades of experience in total hip and knee joint replacements; as well as revision hip and knee arthroplasty (for worn out total hip and knee replacements).

I manage some sports injuries of the hip and knee and also am heavily involved with pelvic trauma and musculoskeletal tumours and Waikato Hospital..

A team approach is the only option for successful healthcare. Miriam, my office administrator, provides most of the back-room support and organisation required to keep things running smoothly.

In the operating theatre I work with a dedicated group of experienced and highly trained medical professionals; each with their own role in ensuring you have an exemplary standard of care and safety.
