Here at the Hobart Orthopaedics our philosophy is simple:

Every person deserves to be treated with respect, honesty, and understanding. People require long term “best practice” comprehensive management for their presenting condition and treatment is based on best scientific evidence. We strongly believe that the more you know about your condition, the better you can deal with the challenges of surgery.
