Report
All the staff were lovely. Dr Khan was caring and explained everything in plain, easy to understand language. Dr Bryceson was reassuring and explained the options available to me without influencing my decision either way. Would highly recommend this practice.

Report
We were very pleased with all aspects of our experience with Dr. Bryceson and Reef Orthopaedic Clinic. We organized the needed surgery from overseas (in PNG where we work), and traveled to Cairns for the consultation, surgery, and post-surgical check-ups. Our interactions with Dr. Bryceson and his staff all went well, and we would gladly work with them again if the need arose. At five weeks after the surgery, we are very pleased with the results of the surgery.
