Dr Nick Hartnell is interested in the care of patients surgically, in all aspects of orthopaedics for both adults and paediatrics, while still having a strong belief in the art of non-operative management.
Dr Hartnell completed a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery at the Sydney University in 1995. He went on for his intern year at the Canberra Hospital. As an Orthopaedic Registrar, he worked in numerous hospitals, both rural and metropolitan and he has vast experience at Royal North Shore Hospital and Lismore Hospital. As part of his training he sought many opportunities overseas and was lucky enough to receive the honour of working at Shriners Hospital in Portland, Oregon USA. There he worked for a Senior Fellow in the Department of Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgery and now brings experience of all Paediatric Orthopaedic conditions. Since that time he has been fully focused on orthopaedics and he has many years of experience in all facets of Orthopaedic care.
