Hip & Knee Surgeon — Northern Beaches

Professor Bill Walter welcomes patients from across Sydney’s Northern Beaches for hip and knee replacement surgery. His practice is based at the Mater Hospital in Wollstonecraft and Royal North Shore Hospital in St Leonards, both easily accessible from the Northern Beaches via the Warringah Freeway.

Location and Getting Here

The Mater Hospital is approximately 20 minutes from Dee Why, 25 minutes from Manly, and 30 minutes from Mona Vale via the Warringah Freeway and Spit Bridge. Royal North Shore Hospital is a similar distance. Professor Walter’s father, Dr Len Walter, practised for many years at Peninsula Orthopaedics in Dee Why, and the family connection to the Northern Beaches spans decades.

Procedures Available

Professor Walter offers the following procedures:

• Hip replacement surgery (total hip replacement and hip resurfacing)
• Knee replacement surgery (total and partial knee replacement)
• Hip and knee arthroscopy for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures
• Revision joint replacement for previously replaced joints
• Ceramic-on-ceramic hip resurfacing — a speciality of Professor Walter’s practice
