Mr Arash Riazi is a highly trained Australian Orthopaedic Surgeon having completed extensive training both nationally and internationally. Initially winning the Orthopaedic prize at Prince of Wales Hospital in 1998, he has since gained over 15 years of experience in Orthopaedic surgery.

 

As a medical student he completed his elective in Orthopaedic Surgery at the Austin Hospital under the supervision of Mr Julian Feller, and his passion for Orthopaedic Surgery began early in his medical training.

“I respect Country Surgeons who are really well rounded ‘Generalists’ who look after the breadth of orthopaedics from paediatrics to geriatrics, sports, trauma and arthritis and look after all the body parts lower limb, spine and upper limb.”

 

Due to family reasons, Mr Riazi moved back to the eastern suburbs of Melbourne in 2014.  “I really want to bring that country style practice to the city.”
