Dr Andrew Myers

Orthopaedic Surgery, Plastic/Reconstructive Surgery

Dr Myers initially trained in Orthopaedic Surgery in Newcastle Australia to obtain his FRACS in Orthopaedics, after which he moved his entire family to Singapore to further train in Hand and Microsurgery at the National University Hospital. During his Orthopaedic training in Newcastle, it was apparent to Dr Myers that the community was in need of specialised Reconstructive Hand and Microsurgeons, who would be able to treat not only the basics of Hand Surgery, but also the most severe industrial accidents to save injured patient’s digits and limbs. The level of training and discipline to perform this surgery came only after intensive training and countless operations and as Singapore has a large shipping and industrial component to their workload, it was the ideal environment to develop these skills. Dr Myers has opportunity to manage all the dynamics of private practice including workers compensation, privately insured, third party, DVA and self funded patients through Hand Surgery Centre. Dr Myers specialises in minimally invasive techniques including endoscopic carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel surgery, arthroscopic surgery and fracture management. His ongoing commitment and goal is to ensure the highest level of care and skill is delivered to all of his patients. His staff will be happy to facilitate review and management of your condition. Dr Myers is able to provide acute treatment through Newcastle Private Hospital for all hand injuries including workers compensation injuries.
