Dr Gregory Freeman

Dr Gregory Freeman is an Orthopaedic Surgeon based in Tweed Heads, 2485. With over 28 years of experience, he has established himself as a seasoned practitioner in the field. Dr Freeman specialises in hip and knee surgeries, including joint replacements and anterior minimally invasive hip replacement surgeries.

Dr Freeman's practice is primarily based at John Flynn Private Hospital, where he has been providing his services since its establishment in 1994. He began his career in 1992, serving at Tweed Heads and Murwillumbah Public Hospitals. Throughout his career, Dr Freeman has performed over 10,000 operations, making him well-versed in various surgical procedures and implants.

One of Dr Freeman's notable achievements is being the first surgeon to perform the modern anterior hip replacement surgery in Queensland in 2009. This technique, which does not require muscle cutting, significantly reduces pain and lowers the risk of dislocation. In recent years, this has become his dominant practice, and he has trained and supervised surgeons in this technique both in Australia and Osaka, Japan.

Apart from his surgical practice, Dr Freeman is actively involved in the development of hip and knee replacement surgical instruments. He closely monitors designs and materials and has a keen eye for implementing only reliable and safe options. He regularly attends Orthopaedic meetings worldwide, engaging with international specialists to stay informed about new techniques and instruments.

In addition to his surgical work, Dr Freeman has also been appointed as a member of the Medical Assessment Tribunals for the Queensland Regulator of WorkCover since 2010. He served as a member of the Medical Advisory Panel to WorkCover Queensland until February 2020.

With his extensive experience, expertise, and commitment to providing high-quality treatment, advice, surgery, and service, Dr Gregory Freeman is an excellent choice for anyone seeking orthopaedic surgery.
