Mr Albert Yoon

Born and raised on the North Shore, I attended Rosmini College in Takapuna and then entered Auckland Medical School. I performed my Orthopaedic Surgery training throughout Auckland and the North Island. I further subspecialised in Hand surgery at the Hand and Upper Limb Centre in Canada where amongst other things I was pleased to learn percutaneous needle surgery as an alternative to traditional dupuytrens surgery. I also completed the Royal North Shore Hospital hand surgery fellowship in Sydney Australia.
I have recently pioneered thumb joint replacement for arthritis in New Zealand, with fantastic benefits for patients compared to traditional options

Since finishing training I have been working in public practice for over a decade at North Shore hospital where I perform hand and wrist surgery and run a successful hand fellowship training programme.

My Private Practice is at the Shakespeare Orthopaedic Institute at 209 Shakespeare Rd. I enjoy a close working relationship with local hand therapists and GPs.
