Dr Constantin sees you for your consultation, performs your surgery and manages your follow-up himself. Patients come from Miranda, Caringbah, Cronulla, Gymea, Kirrawee, Sutherland, Jannali, Sylvania, Engadine and Menai.
Many shoulder problems settle without surgery. Every assessment starts with your history, an examination and your imaging, and Dr Constantin will talk you through all your options, including physiotherapy.
