DR KAUSHIK HAZRATWALA - QUEENSLAND LOWER LIMB CLINIC REVIEWS
After my initial consultation with Dr Hazratwala and his support team at the Lower Limb Clinic regarding a hip replacement operation I felt confident I made the right decision. I was given a detailed explanation regarding the operation and what I could expect both during and after the surgery and I am pleased with my progress. Special mention to Caitlan whose physiotherapy sessions were a major part of my successful recovery. I particularly liked the way Caitlan adjusted the weekly sessions based on my progress and my feedback. Usually not a big fan of online programs I thought Dr Hazaratwala’s programs were both user friendly, informative and as effective as having to make a personal visit to the clinic. Based on my experience I have no hesitation in recommending Dr Hazratwala and his team of knowledgeable, caring and experienced professionals and I wish them every success in the future.
I have had surgery performed on both my knees by Doctor Hazratwala, I found him to be very genuine & determined to achieve the best possible outcome for his patients. I highly recommend him.
Dr Kaushik Hazratwala is a super knowledgeable orthopaedic surgeon, and Master in his field. Highly Recommended!.

DR PETER MCEWEN REVIEWS
I had an ACL reconstruction with Dr McEwen last year and I couldn't be happier. I was so impressed with my experience that I recommended him to my mum who had been suffering from debilitating arthritis in her knee. In January she had a total knee replacement with Peter which has completely changed her life for the better. Not only is he a brilliant surgeon, he takes the time to explain everything thoroughly so you are not left with any doubts or concerns regarding the upcoming procedure. He stressed that if we were to follow his post op instructions that we could expect a good outcome, and thats exactly what we got. Mum is now doing things she hasn't been able to do in many years, and her quality of life has improved drastically. We are both very grateful to Dr McEwen and can't rate him highly enough!.
Dr McEwen is a true master of his craft, something any doctor should aspire to. He trained to do the best surgery available and I could not be more grateful for his expert hands. He surrounds himself with professionals and competence, it was really an excellent experience.
Had a troublesome knee replacement with Dr McEwen but follow up and service was truly amazing. Recommend to anyone and honestly don't understand another comment here.

DR JASON MCDARRA REVIEWS
What a brilliant surgeon. I met Jason and after a number of x-rays, it was agreed that a hip replacement would greatly benefit my health. Jason explained, in layman’s terms, what was to follow and true to his word, performed his magic. I expected a great deal of pain, but surprisingly, there wasn’t any. I was walking on crutches, mid morning after my hip replacement. I cannot sing Jason’s praises high enough. He and his staff have been professional, courteous and extremely helpful throughout the entire experience. Nothing was a problem for this team. I would, without hesitation, highly recommend Jason and his staff to anyone seeking Orthopedic assistance. Jason, you are a legend - thank you for everything you have done for me.
Excellent surgeon. I have had five surgeries including shoulder, ankle, big toe and knee with Dr McDarra. Dr McDarra found the issue with my shoulder after my initial surgery 17 years ago failed (different surgeon) and no one else had been able to diagnose it. Extremely professional, with a pleasant bedside manner that genuinely cares for the patient. Highly recommended and will be seeing him for any future issues.
Following my total hip replacement which enabled me to walk pain free I can recommend Dr Jason McDarra to anyone requiring his orthopaedic surgery . His expertise is without question and his after care faultless. His staff are friendly helpful and professional at all times and have my sincere thanks.
