Dr David Lieu

Dr. David Lieu completed his medical degree in 2003 at the University of NSW, and his orthopaedic specialty training in 2013 through the Australian Orthopaedic Association. He then completed further postgraduate training with the Prince of Wales & Concord Hospitals Shoulder & Elbow fellowship. Dr Lieu has been the director of the Whitlam Joint Replacement Centre, as well as the head of department for Liverpool and Fairfield Hospitals since 2018, providing invaluable service and leadership to the local community.

He has a keen interest in all sports and age-related conditions of the shoulder, elbow and knee, including robotic knee surgery.

Dr Lieu is actively involved in research and teaching both orthopaedic trainees and medical students and feels that continuing medical education is important to provide a high level of care for his patients. His priority is to ensure his patients are well informed and can make educated decisions on how to manage their conditions.

He has recently been involved in implementing Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocols for the district, as well as involvement in the Statewide Referral Criteria Steering Committee and GP HealthPathways.
