Dr Kenneth Cutbush and his staff, what an amazing, caring and professional team….
Its been four weeks post-surgery since my Total Reverse Shoulder replacement, and my recovery is impressive; every day is an improvement. My strength and range are all improving nicely, far beyond my expectation..
While in Hospital, pre and post-surgery, the care, support, and outcome of the procedure were to the highest standards I've ever seen and experienced.
This has been a life-changing procedure for me..and it has been faultless.
Thank you to Dr Cutbush and his fantastic, friendly team.

I have had the privilege of Dr Cutbush being the surgeon who repaired my shoulder, Dr Cutbush and his team made the whole journey of my surgery as pleasant as it possibly could be. I am not yet 3 weeks post surgery so am still recovering, but even now my shoulder is feeling the most stable it has in many years. Dr Cutbush is a very warm & pleasant man and is an absolute master at his craft, I will be recommending him to any and all that will listen.

The best shoulder surgeon in Qld. Brilliant in every manner. I had dislocated my shoulder over 400 times and I actually believed it was irreparable. After surgery I now have full rotation and full use of my arm again. Thank you for literally changing my life. I cannot recommend this incredible surgeon more. He is the best.

Life changing! So grateful I found Dr Cutbush as my life had become very restricted with dislocations. I now have no fear of this and am progressing well. A major change for me. Thank you everyone including Extend!

After having 2 previous tendon repairs for right shoulder, Ken Cutbush was recommended to me by my Physio. From first appointment Ken was informative, helpful and his communication was faultless. I have had several surgeries over many years with different surgeons and Ken has provided the best communication I have experienced. From post operative video to personal conversations the process is faultless and I have felt totally informed and confident at every stage. I would recommend Dr Cutbush to anyone considering shoulder surgery.

Dr Ken Cutbush is the epitome of what a surgeon should be: caring, professional, extremely knowledgeable, very confident and skillful. You only have to look at his website to discover that every base is covered, from pre-surgery, to the surgery itself, to post-op and rehabilitation. Nothing is missed. In my case, I am a 72 year old male who has been in chronic pain for many years. I already had a prosthesis installed 20 years previously as well as a plate about 7 years previously when I broke the humerus. Dr Ken removed these and "installed" a total reverse replacement. I am now almost 8 weeks post-op and all is progressing well. The physio exercises on the website are excellent in assisting with recovery.
As others have mentioned, to receive a clip the morning after surgery explaining how it all went, with accompanying photos is a terrific idea. It was also re-assuring to receive a phone call the night prior to surgery.
From my very first interaction with the wonderful staff, through to the recent visit with the physio was simply a wonderful example of how health care/surgery should operate (pardon the pun). There was nothing that was left to chance and there were no queries that were considered too mundane.
Many, many thanks to Dr. Ken, Grace and Terri for giving me a new lease of life!

I am a 71 years old lady. On 13th September 2021, Dr Cutbush did a total left shoulder replacement for me. My husband and I are very pleased with the result. I had intense pain on this shoulder for some time that had led to many sleepless nights. I was continuously tired due to lack of sleep. Off counter pain relief medication was only effective for short period of time. The movements of this shoulder were severely compromised too. I had not been able to do/undo my bra hooks for over 8 years. I had always thought that it was a frozen shoulder.
My husband and I were very impressed with the speed of the organisation for the procedure to suit us as we had very tight window of available time for the operation. Dr Cutbush and his team were very helpful and informative providing me with all the necessary information on the procedure, its out of pocket cost and its pre-operative preparations. They also helped to organised other specialist appointment for my pre-operative health assessment on the same day which was very much appreciated.
My surgery experience was very positive, Dr Cutbush was very professional at all times. He was approachable and happy to discuss and answer my questions. The highlight of my surgery experience was the surprise video on my operation which was available to me the next day after the operation. Although I was not able to fully comprehend the video due to narcotic pain relief, my husband who has limited medical knowledge could understand the information shared on the video. I have had many past surgeries but able to view my operation on video is phenomenon. thank you Dr Cutbush.
I am very thankful to Dr Cutbush and his team providing such professional care to me, i have no hesitation to recommend his expertise service to anyone.
