Upon returning to Melbourne in late 1993, I took up consultant appointments at Austin Hospital in Heidelberg and Monash Medical Centre in Clayton.  At these hospitals, I was able to treat patients with a full range of spinal disorders including scoliosis, spinal trauma and tumour, as well as degenerative spinal conditions.  After Monash Medical Centre withdrew funding for scoliosis procedures, I elected to reduce my public hospital commitment to Austin Hospital only.

I have expertise in all areas of the spine including cervical, thoracic and lumbar regions. I regularly perform minimally invasive spine surgery (often referred to as MISS) which is apropriate for some lumbar spinal problems.

1n 1994, I established private practice at Epworth Hospital in Richmond where I continue to practice to the present time.

For 25 years, I have been providing legal reports for patients injured in the workplace, road accidents, hospital, assaults or as a result of negligence.

I am happy to prepare reports for lawyers, workers' compensation insurers, self-insured employers, and medical indemnity insurers. I take great pride in being impartial and thorough in my work.

My current appointments include;

Head of Vertebral Column Surgery Austin Health Studley Road Heidelberg 3084
