Patient Care

Justin Hunt's philosophy is to strive for optimal patient care by providing a warm, friendly and informative environment in his rooms and follows this with a team based approach in the operating theatre, as well as ensuring he communicates clearly with referring doctors and physical therapists that are also involved in the patient's care.

As many patients present with multiple joint arthritis or dual pathologies, often resulting in a combination of problem areas such as hip and knee pain; hip and lower back pain; neck and shoulder pain, Justin's understanding and expertise across multiple surgery areas assists him to assess and treat his patients holistically.
