DR SIMON ELIX - NAUTILUS ORTHOPAEDICS REVIEWS
Had total left knee replacement with Dr Simon Elix at the Darwin Private Hospital on 06. April 2022. Discharged after 3 days walking on crutches. Moderate pain for the first few days, especially at night, controlled with pain medication given when discharged. Had the dressing removed by the wound nurse on 19. April 2022. Minimal scarring and minimal pain 2 weeks and 2 days since the operation. Driving my car without any problems and walk short distances without crutches. Now attend the Allied Health physiotherapist clinic at the Private Hospital twice weekly. Had 125 degree flexion on my operated knee during my last visit. Brilliant outcome thanks to Dr Simon Elix, Dr Doug Hardcastle ( Surgical Assistant), Dr Goran Bosnjak ( Anaesthetist) and Dr Wai Kah Choo ( NT Cardiac).
I had my rotator cuff fixed by sports med and it went very badly. Not only did I get a germ in the shoulder but my muscle ripped off the bone and I ended up worse than ever. When a friend told me about Elix and his good results from fixing the shoulder I went to see him. He spent heaps of time with me and was really understanding and respectful. It took him 2 operations to fix me up. The first one was to get rid of all the crud that the hack from sports med put in there. The second was to actually fix the shoulder once and for all. I felt better within weeks and finally got my shoulder back. The most impressive thing was that he never criticised the other doctors or big noted himself. He was honest and caring. I was literally saved by his skills and care. Best doctor I ever met.
Just got out of the hospital and had a great experience. Much less pain than I anticipated and great hospital care. Very very very relieved.
I had a TLKR in April 2022 and a TRKR in May 2023 in the Darwin Private Hospital. My surgeon was Dr Simon Elix and Dr Goran Bosnjak was the anaesthetist. The outcome of the robotic assisted total knee replacements on both knees couldn’t have been any better. I am seventy seven years old. Without the the expertise of Dr Simon Elix and Dr Goran Bosnjak I would not be able to walk normally and without any pain now. - WL
