Mr Robert Rowan

MB ChB 1995 Auckland; FRACS (Orth) 2003

I am an orthopaedic surgeon with subspecialty in upper limb surgery and paediatric orthopaedics.

I am strongly committed to both my public and private practice. I fully support and give my time to train our junior doctors.

My work at the public hospital includes treating children and adolescents with orthopaedic conditions, particularly spinal deformities.

At my private room and sports clinics, I have been providing high-quality orthopaedic care for shoulder, elbow, hand, and knee sport’s injuries for a range of patients and elite athletes in Wellington since 2006. I pride myself in good communication, excellent judgement and decision making, and offer high quality outcomes.  I appreciate and value the opportunity to work with people from all walks of life.
