Corey J. Scholes is an Orthopedic Surgeon based in Chatswood, NSW, working at L1, 445 Victoria Avenue, Chatswood, NSW 2067, Australia.
Corey helps people dealing with joint and bone problems, especially around the hips and knees. Many patients come in because everyday activities have started to feel harder, like walking, getting up from a chair, or managing stairs. Osteoarthritis is common, and at times it can also come with ongoing pain and stiffness that just won’t settle.
He also looks after people with arthritis affecting their joints, including cases where the knee or hip may need a more solid long-term plan. Depending on what’s going on, treatment may include options like hip replacement or knee replacement. In some situations, hip resurfacing may be considered. At other times, osteotomy is part of the discussion, especially when the aim is to shift pressure in the joint and help it work better.
Beyond the big joints, Corey’s work can include problems around the foot too. Metatarsalgia, which is pain under the forefoot, can make standing and walking uncomfortable. It can be linked to footwear, activity, or how weight moves through the foot, so the approach is usually practical and focused on improving day-to-day comfort.
Over time, Corey’s goal is to make sure patients understand what’s happening in simple terms, and what the main choices are. People often feel unsure at first, especially when imaging shows changes in the joint. Corey tends to slow things down, explain the next steps, and talk through risks and recovery in a clear way, so decisions feel less overwhelming.
As an orthopedic surgeon, his background is in surgical care for musculoskeletal conditions, with a focus on hips, knees, and related areas. There’s also a lot of ongoing learning involved in orthopaedics, and keeping up with new techniques and evidence helps guide care, even when the final plan stays tailored to the individual.
For patients asking about clinical trials, none have been listed here. If that’s something you’re interested in, it’s worth asking directly during a consultation, since eligibility depends on the condition, timing, and the specific study details.
