Meet Dr Joel Steiner
Dr Steiner graduated with Honours from Monash University in 2010 and subsequently completed a Graduate Diploma in Surgical Anatomy from the University of Melbourne. Following this he relocated to Sydney to undertake formal orthopaedic training. During this time, he completed a Master of Traumatology, specialising in orthopaedics, at The University of Newcastle.
On completion of his orthopaedic training Dr Steiner undertook a Fellowship in Spine Surgery at Royal North Shore Hospital where he focused on both elective spinal surgery and complex spinal trauma surgery. Following this he completed his final Fellowship at The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in London, UK. Here, he further developed his skills in minimally invasive spine surgery and gained invaluable experience in the multidisciplinary management of primary spinal tumours and metastatic spinal tumours.
Dr Steiner has been involved in registrar education and is currently a reviewer for the Collaborating Hospitals Audit of Surgical Mortality run through the NSW Clinical Excellence Commission.
His clinical interests include spinal tumour surgery, deformity and degenerative spine surgery and trauma surgery.
Dr Steiner has both public and private hospital appointments and is happy to see public, private and compensable patients
