Andrew J. Shimmin is an Orthopedic Surgeon based in Windsor, VIC. He works from 33 The Avenue, Windsor, VIC 3181, Australia.
Day to day, Andrew looks after people with painful, worn, or damaged joints. That often means hips and knees that are stiff, sore, or getting worse over time. In many cases, problems like osteoarthritis and arthritis can make simple things harder, like walking, climbing stairs, or sleeping comfortably.
He also helps with treatment options for hip problems, including hip replacement and hip resurfacing. For some people, surgery can be a big step toward getting movement back and reducing pain. At times, the best plan depends on how active you are, what the joint looks like on imaging, and how your symptoms have changed over time.
For knee issues, Andrew provides care that may include knee replacement when conservative care hasn’t helped enough. Osteoarthritis can slowly wear down the joint, and not everyone responds to medicine or physiotherapy alone. When the time is right, surgery can help restore function and make daily life feel more manageable again.
Andrew also treats lordosis, which is a change in the way the lower back curves. Poor posture and back strain can affect how you stand, move, and carry yourself. People may come in after years of niggling pain, or after a flare-up that just won’t settle. He focuses on understanding what’s driving the symptoms and working toward a practical path forward.
His approach is calm and straightforward. He aims to explain what’s going on in plain language, then talk through options that fit your situation. This is not about rushing into anything. It’s more about making sure you understand the trade-offs, the recovery expectations, and what success looks like for you.
Andrew is a specialist in orthopedic surgery, so his work centres on the musculoskeletal system and how to get joints and movement back on track. He also considers how different conditions can connect, like when hip pain changes the way you walk and then affects the knee.
For clinical trials, research, and education details, these are not listed here. If you’d like, the clinic can help confirm the current focus areas and any study involvement that may be relevant to your care.
Appointments are available at his Windsor practice address. If you’re dealing with hip or knee pain, arthritis, osteoarthritis, or lordosis, you can start by discussing your symptoms and what you’ve tried so far.
