Dr David Kitchen is an Australian‑trained orthopaedic surgeon specialising in hip and knee replacement, revision joint replacement, and lower limb sports injuries, including ACL and meniscal injuries.
He completed subspecialty fellowship training at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore, the UK’s leading orthopaedic centre, where he gained expertise in complex hip and knee surgery as well as joint preservation surgery.
Dr Kitchen uses advanced techniques such as robotic-assisted joint replacement, anterior hip surgery, and patient specific implants to provide precise, personalised care. He is dedicated to compassionate, patient-focused treatment aimed at restoring mobility, reducing pain, and helping patients regain independence so they can return to the activities that matter most, whether work, sport, or simply moving with confidence.
