Feedback from a former employee, who worked at the practice for almost five years and only recently left to move overseas: 'I have been working at this practice since graduating in 2014. We have a really good team. Everyone is supportive. There is a good mix of both shelter and private practice work. The clinic is very busy, and we see a lot of unusual cases that you probably wouldn't in your standard practice. On average we do two orthopaedic surgeries per week. The team is absolutely the best part of my job, everyone is fantastic!'
