About Dr David Martin OAM

Shoulder, Knee and Ankle Surgeon
Dr David Martin OAM has commenced his planned retirement from private practice at sportsmed. We are saddened to see Dr Martin depart but it is an exciting new chapter for him as he moves into senior educational and board roles in the broader community. Dr Martin has been an integral member of our sportsmed team, giving so much to our organisation for more than 25 years. Dr Martin’s orthopaedic practice will be handed over to two excellent surgeons joining sportsmed in mid-2022. In the meantime, Dr Martin’s current sportsmed orthopaedic colleagues are here to continue his high level of quality care for his patients. We wish Dr David Martin every success in the next chapter of his life.
