Victorian Orthopaedic Spine Service provides cutting-edge spinal and orthopaedic care.

We have locations extending across the multicultural suburbs of south-east Melbourne and down Victoria’s beautiful Mornington Peninsula.

We serve a diverse range of clients, aiming to provide high-quality care that overcomes language or financial barriers.

Advanced Technology for Improved Patient Outcomes

Our orthopaedic spine surgeon, Dr David Edis, was one of the first in Australia to use CT navigation and robotic guidance when the technology was in its infancy.

As an early adopter of these techniques, he’s one of the few spine surgeons who can offer this expertise to patients.

Now, over 85% of his spinal surgeries use this advanced technology, which aims to deliver higher screw accuracy rates leading to improved patient outcomes such as fewer revision surgeries.
