Established over 20 years ago, Orthopaedics SA have maintained our vision of providing the ‘most comprehensive range of orthopaedic care in South Australia’. Since 2015 we have been servicing patients in the North Eastern suburbs with a visiting service at North Eastern Community Hospital (NECH).
We are excited to announce that in 2021 we will be expanding this service to include a comprehensive range of adult orthopaedic care from our own newly remodelled rooms. Patients will have convenient access to hospital facilities including fully equipped operating theatres and onsite imaging and parking.
From January, Orthopaedic Surgeons Dr Justin Webb, Dr Saleem Hussenbocus, Dr Meng Ling, Dr Aman Sood & Dr Jason Ward will be consulting from our new rooms. Together they provide care for conditions of the upper and lower limbs, sport injuries and orthopaedic oncology.

Doctors will cease consulting patients at Orthopaedics SA from 1 June 2026 and Orthopaedics SA will also be closing down permanently from this date. We want to make sure all of our patients understand what this means for their ongoing care and any medical records held by Orthopaedics SA.
What is happening to my records? Your records will transfer to your surgeon’s new practice on 1 June 2026, so they remain accessible to them as your treating doctor. If your surgeon is retiring, we will transfer your records to the new practice and surgeon they have nominated to continue your care.
What if I don’t want my records transferred? You have the right to opt out. To do so, please contact our rooms:
on 8267 8267 during our business hours of 9.00 am to 5.00 pm (SA time), Monday to Friday; or
on or before Friday, 1 May 2026 to discuss your options. We will need to verify your identity, before discussing your records with you. If we do not hear from you by that date, we will proceed with the transfer as described above. We encourage you to speak with your surgeon well ahead of this date, to obtain details of the new practice and how it will handle your personal information.
What if I have more questions? Please contact our clinic directly using the number you already have on file.
