Availability: After nearly 40 years consulting at Alphington Sports Medicine, Dr Andrew Garnham has decided it is time to reconfigure his availability.
While he will maintain continuity for his current patients with existing conditions, Andrew will no longer be seeing new patients, or new conditions.
He will remain available to assist our other Doctors on any specific problems, especially those related to dance, running, basketball and cycling injuries.
Andrew is also continuing a broad University based exercise research program, as well as his involvement with The Australian Ballet and the Melbourne United Basketball Club.
Despite these changes, Andrew is keen to ensure that everyone he’s supported over the years has the opportunity to keep well and get the most out of their activities.

Note: A current referral from a general or specialist medical practitioner is required for appointments with our Sport & Exercise Physician.
