About

His practice encompasses the management of cervical, thoracic and lumbar conditions including disc protrusions, radiculopathies, nerve entrapment syndromes; degenerative disc disease and arthritic conditions; spinal deformities (spondylolisthesis, scoliosis, kyphosis), trauma, infections and tumour. With a concurrent practice in general orthopaedics, Dr Cheung offers patients a balanced and holistic approach in dealing with musculo-skeletal conditions.

Dr Cheung obtained his undergraduate medical degree at The University of Queensland before completing a Fellowship in orthopaedic surgery through the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. He undertook further subspecialty training at the Singapore General Hospital, which is a regional centre for minimally invasive spinal surgery and spinal deformity surgery.

On his return to Australia, Dr Cheung completed a second post-graduate Fellowship in spinal surgery through QCOS itself. Currently, Dr Cheung has commitments in both the public and the private sectors.

Publically, he is involved in the management of acute spinal conditions at the Princess Alexandra Hospital and in the management of both spinal and general orthopaedic conditions at the Logan Hospital. Through these posts, Dr Cheung has been able to offer care to both patients in the public and intermediate sectors and to pass on his knowledge to the next generation of doctors and surgeons. Privately, Dr Cheung consults and operates at the Mater Private, Greenslopes Private and Sunnybank Private Hospitals.
