We are delighted to welcome our new Hip and Knee Surgeon Dr Tom Gieroba to sportsmed. Dr Gieroba joins our team in September 2022 and is consulting from our Stepney Healthcare Hub in Adelaide. Dr Gieroba completed his Orthopaedics training in Adelaide, before relocating to Melbourne to complete a Fellowship in Robotic Joint Replacement and Sarcoma Surgery at St Vincent’s Hospital. He is experienced in preventative care, treatment and rehabilitation for a range of hip and knee ailments, injuries and conditions.
Locally born and raised in Adelaide, I studied a Master of Physiotherapy at the University of South Australia and completed my studies in 2012. I have a 5 month old daughter and share the same first and last name with my wife. Prior to joining the sportsmed team, I spent 4 years in Katherine in the Northern Territory working in private practice. The rural location provided opportunity that I would otherwise never have seen. Before this, I was in Adelaide working in private practice and was involved with lots of different sporting clubs. I love being able to make a significant positive difference in someone’s life. Having the opportunity to help people rehabilitate from injury and enabling them to return to the things they enjoy doing is something that makes it easy to turn up to work every day. I also enjoy working with anything to do with sport. I love talking sport and helping people return to sport.
Josephine will be working across three of our sites —Stepney, Mitcham and Blackwood— as an Exercise Physiologist.
