After 26 years of spinal fusions carried out by various surgeons with various levels of success the last section started collapsing under the strain of the surgeries done on either side. Naturally the pain was severe, all the more so after the orthopaedic surgeon on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast was unsuccessful in his attempt to do the operation. (He also failed to admit it & is now under investigation). After 6 months I was finally stable enough to be medevac to Epworth. After a week of intensive tests, Greg swept into my room like a breadth of fresh air. He overcame my inherent distrust of surgeons & explained what he intended to do over two operations. The first would remove the Queensland’s man work & the second would actually fix it. In that first visit he was very clearly across the problems & had studied & developed well planned solutions. Finally I had a surgeon I trusted & I knew I was in the best hands. Within 2 days the first op was done with the second a week later. Greg works with an excellent team who he is training to reach his standards. I was impressed by his commitment to develop more top surgeons. Through all my operations (spinal & other) I never encountered such a caring & genuine surgeon, who has a remarkable commitment to delivering only the best results. And he did deliver a perfect result with my complex issues.
Greg has compassion, a rare emotion in a surgeon. His strong “can do” style is exactly who he is & what he does. It’s now 2 years down the track - I was so impressed & delighted I’ve been in a happy bubble & forgot to post a review until now. In that intervening time he has continued to assist me. He really is the consummate professional. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.
