  Dr Dan came highly recommended and my personal experience confirms why. He is very professional and a brilliant surgeon. Jacqui and Megan in … More the office are efficient, friendly and engaging and make you feel very welcome. Dr Dan is always on time.
  I’ve had both shoulders operated on this year. Dr Dan made me feel completely at ease when I entered the operating theatre and he was thorough at explaining post surgery what he’d done and what to expect during recovery.
  My right shoulder is better than it’s been for 15 years and is pain free! My left shoulder surgery was only 8 weeks ago and I’m already feeling positive and happy with the results.
  I would recommend Dr Dan to anyone needing shoulder surgery. He’s brilliant at what he does.

  I sustained a full-thickness tear of the rotator cuff tendon and a partial tear of the bicep tendon. From my initial consultation with Dr. Dan, … More the entire process—from the necessary scans to the coordination of surgery—was handled in the most professional and efficient manner. Dr. Dan took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, post-surgery care, surgical findings, and the planned rehab process. This comprehensive approach has made a world of difference, and the final results have been amazing.
  I was back in the gym after 8 months, following a modified training plan that gradually built up my strength and mobility. It’s now been 11 months since the surgery, and I’m back to 75-80% of my pre-injury strength. I’m confident that I’ll be training at 100% again very soon.
  Before the surgery, I was desperately searching for the right surgeon, as I was understandably concerned about the success of the operation. As a competitive bodybuilder, it was crucial for me to find someone I could trust. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome, and if you’re seeking a high-quality shoulder specialist, Dr. Dan is truly one of the best in the field.

  Dr Dan and his team offered such a warm and responsive atmosphere, in what was a really difficult time. The assuredness with which he diagnosed, … More explained and performed the surgery, really helped to put me and my family at ease. His after care post op was also exemplary, really going above and beyond, making sure recovery was high on his priority list. Shoulder surgery done right!

  I travelled interstate to seek the services of this outstanding surgeon.
  I was in a very negative situation and Dr Dan understood my active lifestyle … More and career. He goes above and beyond both before/during and after. Would highly recommend.

  I’ve been a qualified Australian GP for 37 years. After seeing two shoulder specialists for a torn supraspinatus (tendon), a classmate of mine … More recommended Dr Dan, as he (Dr Salagaras), knew his reputation and results. Dr Dan, frankly, and honestly told me that surgery wouldn’t work……contrary to the other opinions. That’s why I trust him…..and also, he ONLY does shoulders.

  I have not received better medical service in 40 years! From the friendly reception who communicated excellently throughout my treatment to Dr … More Dan’s ability to minimise my discomfort (incl two surgeries) and regain my functionality in the quickest manner possible.
• Matilda Edgecomb ★★★★★ 3 years ago
  Dr Dan is a wonderful Dr and surgeon. Talks at a patients level. As an 11 year old breaking your arm is scary. But Dr Dan made it less scary … More and really took the time to listen to me about my pain and recovery options as a competitive swimmer missing 6 weeks is a long time but Dr Dan was able to explain to me in terms I could understand the need to rest and let the bone heal properly. He also is just a nice friendly person. Our family have all seen him (except my brother) for our shoulder/arm/thumb problems and can’t recommend him or his staff enough. It also helped that I won the Easter Egg jar with the correct guess 😊 so thank you Dr Dan

• Alyssa Fox ★★★★★ 3 years ago
  Dr Sommit Dan was amazing!! Highly recommend him. He was very aware that I’m an active person and was going to try push the boundaries. He was … More professional and explained the procedure and the outcome we were aiming for and listens (he even kept some of my metal from my elbow which I asked for as I was going out to it with the anaesthetic).His whole team were fantastic including Physio Kelsey who not only gets results but is very friendly and funny which is just what I needed.If you’ve had a mountain bike riding accident I recommend Dr Dan. My elbow was broken in 2 spots. I can now straighten my arm and am working on lifting heavier weights. Below before and after…I can hit a tennis ball gently if I support my elbow with my other hand which is huge progress. Thanks Dr Dan and team

  Dr Dan was exceptionally caring & professional with our daughter when she needed surgery to fix her break after a netball injury. As a parent … More it’s comforting to know she felt safe & cared for in theatre, and one month post injury it’s beautiful to hear her back at the piano because of his beautiful work. Thank you to Kim for her welcoming, warm & thorough approach :)
