"Awesome orthopaedic doctor"

About: Kalgoorlie Health Campus / Kalgoorlie Outpatient Clinic

(as the patient),

Been 2 years in pain and many doctors visits just to be told nothing they can do just get cortisone injection a couple of months ago I seen a orthopaedic doctor and they said I can have 3 cortisone a year so off you go feeling upset yet again just feel like no one cares how much pain I go through 

Well recently I seen orthopaedic surgeon dr Stephen’s omg he made me so happy he listened to me and then said I need surgery and that I shouldn’t have had the injections as they won’t help .

Dr Stephen’s made me feel so happy to be walking out of there with closure in a few months 

So a huge thank you to you Dr Stephens

Dear neptunejf85

Thank you for getting in touch. I am so pleased that Dr Stephens was able to offer you a possibility of new treatment options. I will be sure to pass your thanks on to him.

I do wish you the best for your care journey over the coming months and hope you are able to see some improvement soon, as it sounds like the past two years have been very difficult.

Kind regards

Alicia
