Dr Peter Stavrou - Knee, Foot and Ankle Surgeon

Congratulations to my colleague and friend, Dr George Dracopoulos, on a brilliant career as you begin your well-earned retirement! 🎉

I have witnessed firsthand George's skill, care, and dedication over the years. His commitment to his patients has helped thousands of South Australians improve their quality of life, walking with greater function and confidence. George truly reflects the very best of our profession.

It has been an absolute privilege to work alongside George, and it is a true honour to now assist his patients with their ongoing care.

For my GP specialist colleagues, please reach out at any time if I can assist your patients with knee, ankle, or foot conditions. I am committed to maintaining continuity of care and keeping wait times short for your referrals.

Today marks the last day for Doctor Jeremy Bliss Dorai at the Adelaide Knee, Foot and Ankle Fellowship. It has been a pleasure to mentor Jeremy for these past 6 months. His enthusiasm and dedication have been exemplary.

Yesterday, we performed our final surgery - our 12th total ankle replacement performed together - this one with our anaesthetist Dr Andrew Bowie at Saint Andrews Hospital, Adelaide

Dr Dorai also recieved his fellowship certificate at the Royal Adelaide Hospital this week. Wishing Jeremy all the best on his next fellowship and on his return to CMC Vellore.

Great to learn from faculty Dr. Tim Schneider and Greg Whitleigh (Advita Ortho), who flew in all the way from Florida. Cutting-edge tech and a fantastic hands-on learning experience.

Thanks Dan, Jake, and the whole Advita Ortho team for the invite!

THANK YOU!
After 15 years at Mt Barker Hospital, Thursday was my last operating list. Miranda, Nicole, Kylie ran the theatre, Andrew and James did anaesthesia and Rinnie (my current fellow) assisted. As usual it was great work by all.
It has been a pleasure offering care to patients from the Hills, Fleurieu and beyond, thank you to all those that have supported me in this.
Congratulations to Kylie Schultz (soon to be first lady of Mt Barker) for winning "Survivor Mt Barker" the only one left in theatres since my commencing there, I have been outlasted, outwitted and outplayed - Well done Kylie. Special mention to Emma for lasting long enough to be runner up and to Esther "the Cakemaster" who made an amazing cheesecake for the farewell at my last list, uncharacteristically finishing second as most popular dessert after my Pavlova! I'm finishing the last piece in the photo.
