Dr Arvind Puri has been an orthopaedic staff specialist at the Cairns Hospital since January 2014. His private rooms are at Reef Orthopaedic Clinic.
Dr Puri's surgical training commenced in Ireland where, having completed the Basic Surgical Scheme, he became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons. He then moved to New Zealand with his family where he was selected into the Advanced Orthopaedic Training Scheme. Upon completion he successfully became a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of Surgeons.
Melbourne was the next stop, with a year spent undergoing foot and ankle arthroplasty Fellowships.
It was Dr Puri's work as a Staff Specialist in Orthopaedics at the Cairns Hospital in 2012 that made him realise that Cairns was the place to be. He therefore relocated to Cairns along with his family in 2014.
Dr Puri has interests in lower limb reconstruction, general trauma to the upper and lower limbs and foot & ankle problems.
