Dr David Melsom

After sustaining an injury to my shoulder from a car accident, I had a complex and uncommon issue with my shoulder that required surgery. Dr Melsom was fantastic. His work was neat and he took great care in deciding the appropriate treatment. My shoulder is now back to normal. Recovery was not too long either. Carissa the practice manager was friendly and very helpful. I can highly recommend Dr Melsom and his team.

After fracturing my collarbone in 5 places during a game of rugby, I was advised it may be best to have it surgically repaired and was referred to Dr Melsom. I am very happy I was referred to Dr Melsom, as he took great care in his work and performed a very neat fix. Recovery wasn't too long, but Dr Melsom and his team were more than helpful throughout the whole process. I can highly recommend Dr Melsom and his team.

Dr Melsom did an amazing job on repairing both of my biceps tendon ruptures. The first in 2017 which it fully recovered with a grip strength of 71 (amazing) and my more recent of October 2022, now fully healed & back to normal.Both scars are tiny & barely noticeable.The attention & care was outstanding.His team of ladies at his practice are also among the most amazing, caring & helpful people I’ve ever met. From emails to empathy & everything in between they are truly lovely & deserving of all possible praise i can give them & more.I highly & without hesitation would & do recommend Dr Melsom & his team to anyone requiring his services.Thank you all so very much.

I had carpel tunnel surgery on both my hands at once. Dr Melsom did an amazing job. I have had no pain since the I woke from the procedure. My hands are great. I was able to cope easily with my own self cares even with both hands being operated on at once. The whole process was very easy. I had absolute confidence in Dr Melsom and he delivered. Thank you

Dr Melsom was exceptional in both the surgical outcome he achieved with my bilateral carpel tunnel release surgery and his patient and kind manner throughout the pre & post-operative process. Despite a rapid deterioration in both hands' sensitivity, dexterity and strength Dr Melsom's surgery resulted in a full recovery with minimal down time. He was thorough in his pre-op examination, answering all questions to ensure I understood the process & recovery, responsive with additional questions and engaged in the post-op recovery to ensure the best possible outcome. I couldn't recommend Dr Melsom more highly!

Dr Melsom is an excellent surgeon, helping both my husband & myself with various injuries. Surgery on an injured shoulder was a great success, now healed beautifully & stronger than before & a tennis elbow & shoulder bursitis also managed with much care, kindness & expertise. We highly recommend his services.

I was very lucky, my GP referred me to Dr Melsom for bilateral carpel tunnel.Dr Melsom made the experience so easy, I had my first surgery on my right wrist on the 19th of April followed by my second surgery on the 3rd of June.Both surgeries went perfectly, recovery time was minimal and I ​was well looked after before and after my surgeries.Dr Melsom and his team were very responsive if I had questions or queries.I cannot thank Dr Melson enough, he has literally changed my life, I now have full functioning hands.

Dr Melsom operated on my husband's bicep recently and did an amazing job. Dr Melsom's amazing secretary (Liv) was so prompt at getting him in for the surgery within such a short time frame. She was informative, efficient, friendly and professional. I am so impressed with the job that Dr Melsom did, and thrilled that my husband's arm will be back to normal functioning in a few months time. They also have a great team of allied health physios that do a great job with the rehabilitation process.

He gets referals from local government workers compensation. To assess injuries and my rsi was interpreted as some alcoholic disease.The manipulation my pinky finger has been subjected to having been shaped around a broom handle (I am a council cleaner) for 15 years sweeping footpath surfaces was not the cause apparently.

When I woke up after my shoulder surgery with Dr Melsom I could feel that everything was set right and my healing could begin knowing that everything was reset as it should be. When you hear that bone crunching sound in your shoulder as you hit the deck off your mountain bike you have no idea of the damage you’ve just done, but know that getting the right care and expertise will be crucial to a good and long term recovery. I put full trust in Dr Melsom and the wonderful operating theatre staff at the Wesley Hospital, followed up by the team at AllSports Physiotherapy. Today is two months since my surgery, I have full movement back in my shoulder and am regaining confidence and strength in it daily. Thanks and blessings to all involved, especially Dr Melsom with his calm and clear demeanour.
