mate emeric tranastic probably one the most senior ortho consultants in perth. he fixed my knee with lars i was kiting again in 3 months when the fist doctor i saw said i would never kite agian. Everything about the experience was good.. apart from the injury :) he explained everyting realy well, came and saw me straight after surgery andthe after care was great. Cant reccomend him enough.. good luck which ever way you go

robinson did my first knee op and made a farken balls up. if you need anything more than a ACL done dont go near him. Keith had to re do his work just to allow me to walk without my leg from collapsing from under me once a day or so.
I have never experienced the pain and suffering ever before like that Dr put me through. Stay clear.

it depends on what oyu need done, i was on the list for PCL a while back and no one would touch it, everyone was saying bla bla wont kite again etc and eventually after 3 orthos i got sent to Benjamin Hewitt, he got me through everything with simply physio and rehab and i have not had a single issue since then.

at the same time my dad was talking to one of the BEST of the best orthos in England and he was giving the exact same advice as hewitt gave me. I also have a friend who works with hewitt during surgeries and he also said he is one of the top ones in Perth.

I highly recommend tracking him down and getting an appointment, if surgery isnt needed its best to be avoided.

and while we are on the topic of private health any recommendations because I dont have any ? many don't cover divers ?

good health

Ditto Ben Hewitt.

My knee was minor on the scale of things (grade 1-2 medial ligament tear) but his professionalism, attitude and enthusiasm to get me back on the water were great.

He is a water man (Rotto swimmer and sailboarder) and that is a good thing i think.

Best of luck KAOS.
