David J. Wood is an Orthopedic Surgeon based at 3-9 Gillies Street, Wollstonecraft, NSW 2065. He looks after people who need help with painful joint problems, injuries, and some more complex bone and soft tissue conditions.
In day-to-day care, his work often includes arthritis and long-term joint wear, including osteoarthritis. He also manages problems that affect tendons and causes recurring pain, such as tendinitis. When joints are badly worn or damaged, he may recommend surgery such as hip replacement or knee replacement. At times, he also works on procedures like osteotomy, depending on what the joint needs.
David also treats certain bone and soft tissue conditions that can be tough to live with. This can include bone tumours and soft tissue sarcomas, along with conditions like osteosarcoma and synovial sarcoma. He may also see people with other related growths and tissue conditions, such as desmoid tumour and fibromatosis, as well as chondroblastoma. For some cases, the goal is to remove or treat the problem while keeping function as best as possible.
Some patients need help with blood clot concerns too. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is one of the conditions listed for his service, and this is something that needs careful assessment and timely care.
Over time, his surgical experience covers both routine orthopaedic care and more involved cases. His formal education follows the usual path for orthopaedic surgeons, building strong training in diagnosis, imaging review, and operative care.
If you’re dealing with a condition that might need ongoing planning, he can explain the options in a clear way and talk through what comes next. Where relevant, he can also discuss whether clinical trials are an option for a specific diagnosis, though trial availability can vary from case to case.
Overall, David focuses on practical, person-centred care—making sure the plan makes sense and that you know what to expect at each step.
