Mr John English

I am a New Zealand trained orthopaedic surgeon, obtaining my undergraduate medical degree from the University of Otago. I am a member of the New Zealand Orthopaedic Association and a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS Ortho).

I have spent several years training in hospitals throughout New Zealand, spending my last three years in Aucklands major centres. I have also completed fellowships in London, England with further subspecialist training in upper extremity surgery, joint replacement, arthroscopy and trauma.
