Dr. Ash Moaveni

Practicing Orthopaedic Surgeon

BHB, MBChB, MPH, FRACS, FAOrthA

I'm a practicing orthopaedic surgeon and shoulder and upper limb sub-specialist with extensive local and international experience. I care for more than a thousand new patients annually at Eastern Melbourne Orthopaedics and Sports, including a significant number of patients eligible for third party compensation.

I am a co-author and frequent contributor to peer-reviewed journal articles and textbook chapters, and I aim to provide tailored, comprehensive medicolegal reporting that covers diagnosis, treatment, and the clinical reasoning behind it.

I provide:

  • Independent Medical Examinations (IMEs), file reviews and telemedicine assessments for all orthopaedic conditions, with a sub-specialist focus on shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand conditions

  • Independent assessments of workplace injuries, transport accidents, public liability matters and total disability claims

  • Medical negligence evaluations for musculoskeletal injuries
