A/PROF DAVID DEWAR REVIEWS
Dr Dewar has performed arthroscopic surgery on both of my knees, and I cannot express my gratitude enough. From the first consultation to my full recovery, the experience has been outstanding. He genuinely cares about his patients' well-being and takes the time to listen and provide the appropriate advice. This level of care is rare to find in the medical field. I have no hesitation in recommending Dr Dewar for anyone who is considering knee surgery. Thanks!.
Dr Dewar and his staff have been very supportive and informative throughout my whole process with them. From openly discussing different management strategies to ensuring I understood exactly what was involved with surgery when it was required, Dr Dewar has been supportive and informative the entire time. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Dr Dewar performed a total knee revision when others wouldn’t. I had been in pain and unable to walk properly for 6 years. I cannot say enough about the way David and his registrars treated me.. amazing and full of empathy and understanding.I recovered exceptionally well and am back playing with my grandchildren Many Many thanks. An exceptional surgeon.

Dr Petrelis and the entire staff at Newcastle Orthopaedics are beyond amazing. Not only is Dr Petrelis a fantastic doctor, but he is also an incredible human being. So kind, compassionate and generous with his time. I highly recommend Dr Petrelis!.
Dr Petrelis is an excellent specialist, personable, knowledgeable and efficient. I was able to be fitted in same day after a shoulder fracture. I left the appointment with a plan for treatment without surgery, and 6 weeks later I am back at work with minimal pain. I highly recommend him.
Minus Petrelis is an exceptional clinician and surgeon. He has a calming knowledgeable manner and my shoulder repair has been excellent.

DR JAI KUMAR REVIEWS
Dr Jai Kumar is a very knowledgeable and friendly surgeon. He always puts his patients first, and is willing to share his knowledge with fellow health professionals to ensure that the local community can get the best treatment possible. 100% recommend Jai to anyone looking for a quality surgeon!.
Dr Kumar is a wonderful surgeon. I suffered a serious injury to my left shoulder, as well as an injury to my right shoulder. Dr Kumar did a fantastic job with the condition of my shoulders and gave me the best result I could have.
I have just undergone my second shoulder surgery with Jai. His skill as a surgeon is undeniable. His humble,friendly,caring attitude to his patients inspires confidence. He explains procedures in a manner easy to understand and as a result I went into surgery more relaxed than I otherwise would have been.
