Andrew M. Briggs is a rheumatologist based in Elsternwick, VIC. You can find him at 263 Kooyong Rd, Elsternwick VIC 3185, Australia.
Rheumatology is about the joints, muscles, and bones. Andrew looks after people dealing with day-to-day pain and stiffness, and also those who need help when symptoms flare up. This might include osteoarthritis and other forms of arthritis, as well as rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Many patients come in with chronic pain that affects how they move and how they get through work or home life. At times, there’s also acute pain, where things feel sudden or worse than usual. Over time, the aim is to find a clear plan that’s realistic and manageable.
Andrew also treats issues related to bone health, including osteoporosis. If you’ve had fractures, low bone density, or ongoing concerns around bone strength, he can help with assessment and ongoing care.
He works with adults who have a range of complex health needs, including erectile dysfunction (ED). Pain and stress can travel across the body in different ways, and at times these concerns show up together with other long-term conditions.
In practice, he focuses on careful clinical decisions, good follow-up, and making sure patients understand what’s happening. It’s not just about quick fixes. It’s about steady care, especially for conditions that can take time to settle.
If you’re not sure whether your symptoms fit rheumatology, you can still start the conversation. Andrew’s role is to help sort out likely causes, discuss treatment options, and work out the next steps with you.
