It's late November, was told that the earliest appointment available was February. It's okay if my pain is not important to you.

Dr. Sterling would have to be the best knee/foot/ankle surgeon available - I have had a knee replacement and foot reconstruction by Dr. Sterling and I will say without hesitation that his surgical skills are A plus. As I am not in private health anymore owing to finances I was forced to go to a different surgeon in the last 6 months and the profound difference in final outcome for my second knee replacement performed by public surgeon whose name I will not mention has been shocking in fact the end result is dreadful. if anyone wants to have lower limb surgeRy performed GO TO DR. STERLING AS I CANNOT

Dr Sterling is by far the best Orthapaedic surgeon I have ever experienced.
Dr Sterling is a true gentleman, he is honest, and does the best possible for his patients. My first experience with the good doctor was after several attempts from previous surgeons to rectify an issue with my Achilles Tendon. Dr Sterling took the time to listen to all of my concerns and systematically addressed every single one. He successfully devised a solution and applied that to my ankle. It was at this point that dr Sterling restored my ability to walk pain free after 7 years of non stop pain. On the second occasion

I had an major underlying problem with my right ankle and my quality of physical fitness had been deteriorating for 10 years. My biggest fear was nothing could be done, after my initial meeting with Greg he was confident this could be rectified. After a 6 and a half hour reconstruction I was in for some rest and recuperation. At 52 years of age I have now returned to my 5 Km park run most weekends and am an avid bike rider completing several rides weekly. I did not believe this would again be possible. Thank you Greg for giving me back my ability walk, run, bike and anything else I choose to
