OrthoShep is a Cairns Orthopaedic Specialist that has been operating in the region since 1993. The practice is run by Dr. David Shepherd, a Cairns Orthopaedic Surgeon. We mostly provide Cairns Hip Transplants and Cairns Knee Transplants but cater to all Orthopaedic requirements. A common surgery request is for Cairns Shoulder Replacement which we can assist with also. In 2023 we opened our Atherton Orthopaedic Specialist clinic where we provide the same professional medical services. These services are carried out by a qualified and experienced Atherton Orthopaedic Surgeon. From here we can assist with Atherton Hip Transplants and Atherton Knee Transplants along with Atherton Shoulder Replacement surgery and all other Orthopaedic services.
